Product Features:
'After graduating in Bangkok in industrial engineering, I set up my own saa paper and umbrella workshop. I improved designs and patterns, and changed stages in the procedure and techniques in order to improve quality. I tend to keep to traditional Thai patterns, but I also have been creating new designs. I am proud to say that my products are traditional, decorative, useful, and locally made. When demand for our products is great, I dispatch work to people living nearby.' Saa paper is a 700 year-old tradition in Thailand. Made from the bark of the mulberry tree, it is used for Buddhist scripts, temple decorations, umbrellas, fans and kite making.
