The bag girl of Thai design
Muse, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 04/10/2014
» There's something effortlessly cool about Nasha Mekraksavanich, founder and creative director of Nasha bags.

Clued in and caustic
Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 18/07/2014
» Showtika Somjid’s pseudonym was suggested by the names of a mentally disturbed couple, Nola and Nolee, who lived rough in her neighbourhood; they were familiar faces, often seen roaming the streets, but they never caused any harm to anybody.

With Pim at the design helm, youngest Matina handling the jewellery and eldest Kly tackling marketing, Sretsis, woven by intimate family ties, fantastical fairy tales and effervescent femininity, has turned many Thai girls’ shapes on to classic womanly silhouettes with subtle twists using crafted, printed fabrics and subtle details that hark back to old glamour. They have given girls a chance to wear their enchanted forest dreams and spiritual adventures on their appliqued sleeves.
