We keep a working selection of local and branded women's fabrics on the bolts at our atelier. The collection below sits in the 300–800 THB per metre range, which we've found to be the sweet spot of quality and value for everyday and semi-formal dresses.
For premium cloth, we also stock imported brands like Holland & Sherry, Officine Paladino, Drago, Fox Brothers, Dormeuil, and Vitale Barberis Canonico. Those are the ones we'd suggest for formal suits, overcoats, and luxury pieces where the cloth is doing most of the work.
If you can't find what you want here, we're happy to point you to other fabric shops in Bangkok, especially for very colourful patterns, chiffons, Italian and local Thai silks. For general dressmaking, the bolts below mostly cover what you'll need.
Local fabrics we carry at the atelier
Silky Satin
A silk-synthetic blend with a soft hand and a moderate sheen. It catches light without going theatrical, which makes it a workhorse for blouses, evening dresses, and special-occasion wear. More forgiving than pure silk: survives frequent wear and washing without losing the drape. Available in a range of hues in our Silky Satin collection.
Indigoly
A lightweight cotton with a subtle pattern. Breathable enough for daily wear in Bangkok, with a soft drape that moves nicely on flowing skirts and maxi dresses. We use it most for shirts, light skirts, and breathable dresses with a thin lining.
Duchess Satin
Heavier and more structured than silky satin, with a clean sheen. Holds shape on bodices and full skirts, which is why it's been a wedding-gown fabric for generations. We use it most often for tailored wedding dresses and structured evening gowns where the silhouette has to hold up under a long day of standing and dancing.
Tina 83
A modern Japanese poly-wool blend that's quietly become one of our most-recommended bolts for everyday wear. It resists wrinkles in Bangkok humidity, holds a press, and washes cleanly. We cut it into women's suits, work dresses, and travel pieces. Comes in a wide range of colours and subtle textures.
Pearl
A fabric with a soft pearly gloss that adds depth without shouting. Works equally well on classic ball gowns and modern sheath dresses, and comes in everything from pale pastels to deep jewel tones. We tend to suggest Pearl when a client wants the fabric itself to be the feature, with cleaner cuts elsewhere on the dress.
