03 / The Refolks story
From Ban Lac to the city
It all began with a student field trip to Ban Lac, Mai Chau. Amidst the peaceful wooden stilt houses, we were captivated watching Thai mothers and grandmothers meticulously weave vibrant brocade textiles. Each intricate motif was far more than crisscrossed threads—it carried a prayer for peace and a story of the mountain forests.
REFOLKS / MOTIFS
Motif inspiration & the cultural stories of the Thai people
The collection draws from three traditional Thai motifs, each with its own story and meaning:
Boọc khoáy – A wish for good luck and peaceTap to see it on a bag
In the New Year customs of the Thai people in Mai Chau, the Boọc khoáy is made of four bamboo sticks bound with rattan and hung with charcoal and từ bi leaves to ward off evil spirits. Kept all year round, it symbolises protection, good fortune and peace.
Coconut branch – Resilience in the face of challengesTap to see it on a bag
A familiar tree in Thai villages, the coconut palm grows tall with wide-spreading leaves yet stands firm through rain and wind. Its image in embroidery expresses strength, perseverance and endurance through hardship.
The deer – Freedom and lasting bondsTap to see it on a bag
Found in Thai embroidery and weaving, the deer recalls a folk tale of a boy and the deer he saved. When parted, the deer waited at its old cave until the end of its life; a frangipani grew where it lay. The motif stands for freedom, loyalty and enduring affection.
