Discover Banana Tree Fibre.
Rare. Sustainable. Ours.
In the quiet groves of Phatthalung, after the bananas are picked, something else is harvested — the fibre. We don’t let it go to waste.
We strip the outer layers from mature Banana trees, sort them by hand, and separate by tone.
The darker strands are set aside for pattern and contrast. The pale ones dry into a warm golden hue.
“The future of fashion isn’t mass produced. It’s made with care, one piece at a time.”
We hang the fibres out across the small plantations.
Strung between trees, sunlit and swaying. No chemicals. No machinery. Just time, light, and air.
Once dried, they stiffen — tough, flexible, ready to weave.

Banana Fibre behaves differently to Krajood.
It’s firmer in the hand, with more spring, and takes shape in unexpected ways.
We experiment — twisting, curving, adjusting — before deciding which designs to bring to life.
Some bags are round-bodied and organic. Others are sharper, structured, architectural.
Each starts as an idea and ends as a batch. Always small. Always considered.

The base bags are woven here in Phatthalung
By us and by people we know. It’s slow work, made slower by the seasons and the limits of each harvest. But that’s how it should be.
We don’t overproduce. We don’t outsource. We make what the trees give us.

While the weaving happens, another process unfolds.
Down the road, local looms click and whirr — weaving cotton linings the old way.
We test colours and patterns each season, keeping things playful but grounded in tradition.

Not Seagrass. Not Straw. Not Raffia. Not curated, sourced, or picked from someone else’s shelf.
Grown, gathered, woven, stitched, and shipped by us.
From Phatthalung — to you.
