A couple of weekends ago, I went to Bangkok to get more fabric and materials for the bags. I was super excited about going because they had a fair of handmade products there. Besides buying things, I also wanted to go in order to be inspired by the creative ideas and designs of others. You can see some photos from my trip below.
While I was there, I met up with my friend from Singapore. She also makes handmade bags like me, so we had really great conversations about new ideas and our experiences in the business. We walked around the fair together and got all the fabric that we needed.
Bangkok’s fabric market is huge! There are beautiful fabrics from all over the world there. Fabrics from Japan, India, and other exotic places. I had a really great time. There were so many choices! It was overwhelming sometimes; I wanted all of the fabric! Haha!
With my limited budget and just a few days in Bangkok, I think I made some really great choices. But I’m always looking forward to going back to that market and getting more.
Now I’m back at home and ready to make more spectacular bags out of the best fabrics to choose from in Bangkok. I hope you enjoy what I plan to create next. -Nueng
