Our silk fabrics are woven by people in the northeastern part of the country. Silk weaving is a tradition carried out by people in this region for hundreds of years. At our production facility in Saraburi, about 150 kilometres from Bangkok, we produce plain-colour silk fabrics, both smooth texture and rough texture, silk fabrics with corrugated patterns, and different types of silk fabrics with Mud Mee patterns (tie-dyed silk fabrics).

          For other types of our silk fabrics, for example, silk fabrics with raindrop patterns, Mee Salab patterns, Look Kaew patterns, Phrae Wa patterns, Yok Dork patterns, and Batik patterns, the production takes place in Surin, a province in the northeastern part of the country, about 500 kilometres from Bangkok. We buy materials and distribute work to local villagers, also skilled weavers, to produce different types of unique silk fabrics for us.

          We have also expanded our production line to include different types of Thai silk products. We produce and sell silk scarves, silk shawls, and silk neckties both on the retail basis and the wholesale basis. For other products, including silk cushion covers, silk shirts, and silk garments, we only produce according to customers’ orders. This means that these products are sold only on the wholesale basis.

          For a plain-colour silk fabric, the colour of the fabric must be the same all over the piece. A fabric is a defect if the colour is not consistent all over the fabric. A reason which causes the colour on a fabric to appear in two or more tones is that the yarns used to weave the fabric have different abilities in absorbing the colours. There might also be some mistakes in the dying process. So, the yarns must be dyed carefully to ensure that they become of the same colour from the beginning to the end.

          The patterns on a fabric must be consistent. A pattern on a fabric might be inconsistent because the weaver makes a mistake in the weaving process. It might be because the yarn is broken somewhere, causing the tie-dyed pattern on the yarn to be discontinuous. It might also be because the tie-dying process is not carried out properly.

          Silk fabrics must be properly woven, meaning that they must not be too tightly or too loosely woven. For smooth-texture silk fabrics, there might be some silk waste on the fabrics. For rough-texture silk fabrics, there must be a lot of silk waste on the fabrics. A reason which causes the fabrics to be loosely woven is that the reed of the handloom is too old and needs to be changed. The other reason might be that the weaver is not very skillful and he cannot pull the reed in and out properly.
