HANDMADE TEXTILES & LIMITED PRODUCTION we work with raw, handwoven silks and hard-to-find yarns, all in limited supply— enough for just a few pieces (or less) per colorway. Once the fabric or yarn is used up, its exact shade, weave, or texture won’t normally be found again, making each garment a special part of our evolving creative / design process. No two are exactly alike.

A NOTE ON FIT / SIZING soft silhouettes, adjustable closures, adaptable proportions, and sculptural shapes mean most styles have been designed to adapt to many different body shapes and sizes. If you’re between sizes or unsure, we’ll gladly help you find the right fit. Contact us via IG @thenongrak or via our contact page above.

Design based on a vintage dress from the 1960's.

Can be worn high waisted or low on the hips. Purchase layers separately (these don't come in sets but look great worn layered).

Fit's size S-L well, seen here on XS and S models.

100% handwoven raw Thai mulberry silk / mai kaew glass silk , made in Thailand.

Purchases support small, family business, Thai artisans / sericulture and local cottage industry.

For Care / Cleaning

Raw Silk -

*We do not recommend wearing for sports or other high-energy activities as the fabric is more fragile than standard fabrics.

Dry clean to keep a 'pressed' look OR gently hand-wash with cold water and mild soap (such as gentle shampoo) to soften fabric over time. Do not soak. Roll in towel to soak up excess water. Hang to dry. Iron on medium heat.

Mai Kaew Glass Silk -

* Infrequent cleaning recommended. The wrinkle pattern / crinkled texture will change/ relax/morph with wear which is part of the design and we recommend always storing in the drawstring bag for best results.

Gently hand-wash with cold water and mild soap (such as gentle shampoo). Do not soak. Roll in towel to soak up excess water. Hang to dry until 80% dried, then gently twist and crumple-up into storage bag to complete drying process. Once completely dried (ideally overnight), remove from bag and shake well to help 'pleats' bloom and relax, at which time the piece can be worn as-is or it can be partially steamed to volume desired. If you desire less crumpled texture, hang outside of the storage bag and pleats will settle somewhat over time.

Please reach out anytime with questions or assistance in caring for these garments.
