When we think of Southern Thailand, vibrant beaches and lush forests along with rich cultural traditions immediately come to mind. Yet, there’s a brand emerging from Songkhla that is redefining the narrative surrounding Southern Thai cultural clothing and the batik fabric they’re made from: Clothear. This innovative brand is transforming humble batik fabric into a canvas for contemporary fashion, thus

I first learnt of Janfive Studio from its collaboration with Siamese Dreamers, one of my favourite resort-wear labels created in Thailand.

I first noticed the Marius & India brand in the summer of 2023, right around the time they were launched. What immediately drew my attention was the vibrant and exotic patterns the brands used for its collection. They were without a doubt Indian!
