“HANDS ACROSS CULTURE” Kraam International Symposium 2025
Internationally acclaimed designers bring indigo-dyed and naturally-dyed fabrics into contemporary fashion collections, affirming the potential of Thai handicrafts rooted in local cultural wisdom under the Sustainable Fashion and Fun with Thai Fabric royal initiatives.
Thai fabrics and handicrafts embody local wisdom shaped by culture and ways of life, and reflect profound relationships between people and nature. They have evolved into refined contemporary arts of international stature, but are still grounded in environmentally conscious and sustainable principles.
Thai indigo-dyed textiles represent a treasured heritage. Woven from locally cultivated silk and cotton, they are prepared with natural colors using ancient knowledge. Rooted in long-held experience and traditions, they appeal to admirers of artisanal work, and are distinguished by their unique, inimitable character.
