"Their works were very creative and beautiful, but also distinctly Thai: their methods unchanged from mother to daughter."

"When I was young, I was a very active and imaginative girl. Growing up in Chiang Rai in a family with low economic... means, I always enjoyed crafting my own toys and accessories with natural things around the house such as flowers, leaves, vines and scrap from my mom's projects. My dad is a skilled carpenter who would volunteer his time to building temples and schools. My mom always supported him as a perfect homemaker. I also have a younger brother. Through my own achievements, I was able to support him through school, and now he is training to be a soldier.

"During my first year in college, I had a chance to go on a field trip to Chiang Mai City in the center of Northern Thailand, which is only a couple hours away from my town. We were able to see many interesting places, but one really inspired me. It was a small village named Yao, situated on top of a mountain. There, I saw some hill tribe women braiding threads to make accessories. Their technique and unique style has been passed down from one generation to another. Their works were very creative and beautiful, but also distinctly Thai. Their methods pass unchanged from mother to daughter.

"One of the hosts of our field trip was the leader of the women in the village Her name is Mohloh. I asked her to teach me to braid in their style and she told me it's deceptively difficult to teach, especially when I was only going to be there for a short time. She also warned me that I would need lots of patience and imagination to produce the kind of art they were making. I was undeterred, and spent the rest of the afternoon with Mohloh and some of the other women learning their methods.

"At one point, Mohloh mentioned that the type of threads they are using tended to fray after getting wet. I was really fond of making them and curious to find out if there was any better thread to avoid the problem. When I returned, I looked into some other supplies that weren't available to the people of Yao. I tried many different kinds of threads, but some were too large and couldn't be woven easily. Others looked gorgeous, but sometimes the colors would run if they were washed. I finally found waxed cords.

"Waxed cords are relatively thick and the waxed coating prevents them from fraying. They are much stronger, water-resistant and, in my experience, this makes them last longer than leather. Because the strands are waxed after they're dyed, there's no risk of the colors running. This success gave me confidence and I set out to create accessories exclusively with waxed threads.

"After I graduated from the university, I started to create various designs of jewelry with silver pieces for my family, relatives, and friends. The feedback from my family was immediate. They loved this kind of jewelry. It had the same ethnic flair that they love, but it was much more durable and they had something nice to wear in the rainy season. I was able to work full-time selling mostly bracelets and necklaces. Some of my friends suggested that I make something larger, so I set about making different kinds of belts.

"I decided to move to Chiang Mai because there are better opportunities there to sell my collections, as well as for finding raw material. However, my heart remains in Chiang Rai, my birthplace. It is a lovely and peaceful city, so I always try to go and visit family and friends.

"I had the opportunity to meet Achara who is a great inspiration for designing and creating my own jewelry. I saw her cooperating with hill tribe people in promoting their works. Her style is quite different from mine just as the hill tribes are quite different from one another.

"Achara and I are both members of the same family of artisans here, since our hearts and our inspiration both lie with the hill tribe people. We both want to help them produce their high-quality, creative work, and see their designs and their methods carried on.

"Its wonderful that I get the opportunity to share my love of creating jewelry with you. I hope that every one who wears my designs will love them as much as I do, since I always put my heart and my soul into my little creations. I hope to have you as a part of our family in your hearts and in your minds. A very special thank you to all who purchase my products. I cannot tell you how much satisfaction it brings us here to be able to do what we love as a career. Your purchases not only keep us working, but keep us motivated. Knowing that people everywhere enjoy something that I've designed and crafted is the best kind of praise I could ever asked for. Thank you."

Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

SLEEVE

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
