HRH Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya researched textile patterns nationwide and designed 4 variations of the “Princess Sirivannavari’s SiriVajiraporn Motif” on 22 February 2024, during a visit to Ban Khampun, Warin Chamrap District, Ubon Ratchathani Province. These motifs were created for 4 fabric types: Kab Baw, Yok Jok Khit, Phraewa, Mudmee, and Batik. Artisans are encouraged to integrate the motifs with traditional designs to create jobs, boost incomes, and sustainably enhance quality of life. This initiative was part of the celebration of the auspicious occasion of the 6th Cycle (72nd) birthday anniversary of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua on 28 July 2024.
