carried back from northern thailand

hand stitched
in chiang mai

atiqah picks these up herself from the villages around chiang mai, from the people who stitch them. every piece comes home in ones and twos, never a box of the same thing.

from the pieces we are carrying now

how slow it really is

three to five
a week

3–5pieces finished in a week by one maker, start to end
1piece per design. when it is gone, that exact one is gone
100%hand work. the stitching, the cutting, the finishing
one

the cloth comes first

cotton and linen, dyed and woven in the north. the weight is why these sit well in our weather.

two

stitched by hand

the embroidery is done by villagers at home, between everything else a day asks of them. it is why a week only gives three to five pieces.

three

nothing repeats

the same design stitched twice still comes out different. thread tension, colour choice, the hand that day.

we do not restock these. we go back, and whatever is finished by then is what comes home with us.

what we are carrying

the pieces

prices and stock come straight from our own shelf, so what you see here is what is left.
