Northeast of the Mun river.
Surin sits in lower Isan, three hours by road from the Cambodian border. The province has raised mulberry and reeled silk for at least four hundred years. The climate is hot and slow. A long humid season keeps raw mulberry silk pliable on the loom; the dry months come quickly, and the cloth must be off the warp before the air goes brittle.
A meter across. Five days a length.
Two looms sit in the shade under the house in Ban Takian, in Lamduan district, and run from before sunrise until the light goes flat in the afternoon. The thread comes from silkworm keepers in the same village, and the pattern goes into it before the loom ever sees it — tied and dyed bundle by bundle, so the cloth arrives already knowing its figure. Fifty centimeters on a good day. A finished length is five or six days of work.

Spring 2026 — from two looms.
What is listed is what is finished. When a piece sells it is gone until the loom replaces it, and the loom does not hurry.

Packed at the house. A week to your door.
Every piece is folded, wrapped in cotton, and packed under the same roof it was woven under, then carried by DHL Express from Surin to most of the world in under a week. A commission — your length, your palette — takes about a month on the loom. Write first.
