Thai handicrafts have long been celebrated for their precision and the quiet stories woven into every thread and carved detail. It’s no surprise that travellers often seek them out, hoping to carry home a piece of this timeless artistry. Recently, these traditions have found new life – fashion houses weaving classic textiles into bold, contemporary statements, while hand-crafted objects slip effortlessly into modern interiors. At the heart of this revival is the royal ‘Siriraj Phattharaporn’ fabric, unveiled and available to buy for the first time, its patterns so intricate they feel almost sketched rather than woven. Surrounding it are mudmee silks that reimagine tradition with fresh eyes, wool textiles spun in Mae Hong Son, and ceramics and everlasting flowers that refuse to fade. Even the sweets echo heritage, shaped like palace gates and sacred tiles, while a khon performance quietly stitches past and present together.
