Chaksarn is a Thai brand that creates handbags using traditional Thai weaving techniques. Founder Jirawat Mahasarn’s goal was not only to preserve this beautiful craft but to share the technique with the world. A Chaksarn bag combines traditional Thai materials, woven by hand, then incorporated into a modern bag profile with genuine, hand-dyed leather. By carrying one, you are contributing to the survival of traditional Thai culture and providing a regular income to small communities.
