Thailand’s silk and cotton industries are famed for their unique designs due to their hand-woven nature. Thai silk in particular shines with a lustre that will change colours depending on the angle of light.

The adaptability of Thai cotton makes it suited for a wide range of garments, from casual wear to traditional attire.
