Thai Craft Warehouse is a family business operating out of Phrao city, 100kms north of Chiang Mai city, the regional capital of Northern Thailand.
Chiang Mai has always been a crossroads of trade between South East Asia, China, and the silk routes across India to the West, the culture is warm and
welcoming, and the love of arts and crafts is universal.
At the start of 2005 Thai Craft Warehouse was begun with the vision of delivering the markets of Chiang Mai to the world.
The variety of crafts and clothing in the area is unlimited and the low prices are legendary, it has been our goal to offer this
supply at reasonable prices to the world, to do this we have focused on efficient data management and keeping overheads low.
We try to follow the Asian pricing philosophy of low margins and do not look for quick profit. Our catalogs wide range is
one of our strengths, we never rest in the pursuit of new items from diverse producers.
The craftspeople we work with are as varied as the products we offer, from small family and village based groups and individuals
making unique items, to creative fashion workshops in Bangkok and artists in remote hill tribes. For Thai craftspeople the
opportunity to sell through channels such as Thai Craft Warehouse allows them the opportunity to work close to home in
comfortable and natural surroundings and still achieve fair wages. Many of the seamstresses working on our clothing are mothers
or grandmothers, working in this manner means they do not have to leave their homes to find work in the large factories supplying
mainstream fashion. For hill tribe artisans, a marginalized people within Thailand, sales of their handiwork opens a path to
self-sufficiency and keeps alive their ethnic traditions.
We are an internet only business and do not have a storefront or products on display. Our location is rural and not suitable for
casual walk in sales, if you are a wholesale client wishing to visit us you are welcome but please contact us beforehand.
Our hope is that by being efficient yet flexible and by respecting our producers and our customers we will create a successful marketplace that can
compete internationally with less ethically produced products. We hope you will enjoy looking at
the diverse range of crafts and clothing we have on offer, and if you choose to make a purchase we look forward to serving you.
