The creation of Thai silk is an ancient process using fibres from bona fide silkworm caterpillars. Thai women spin silk threads by hand, then weave the threads on traditional hand-operated looms. Each piece of fabric is a unique work of textile art, reflecting the character and spirit of its weaver. Unlike silk produced by machines, Thai silk has a knotty texture and a rich lustre. Its tiny imperfections are the heart of its beauty.

The products on this website are recently hand sewn from Thai silk woven in the 1960’s-70’s, reflecting the bright colors and whimsical designs of that era.
