Artisan Naree hails from Trang Province, which is located in the southern part of Thailand. The ancient city of Trang was first inhabited more than 2,000 years ago and is an important trading center for the country. Naree grew up in a family of merchants, so she learned the business of trade at an earlier age. As she grew older, Naree wanted to venture out on her own, so she learned how to craft jewelry and to design clothing. After years of honing her skills, she was finally able to open her own shop in bustling Bangkok. This business is her true passion and she loves creating beautiful jewelry and unique garments that she can share with other people. “My designs come from nature and I love combining color and natural materials to get unique pieces. The beauty found in a flower blossom or the color pattern of natural stone all inspire me to make beautiful clothing and jewelry. I am very lucky to be able to support my family doing something that makes me happy. I hope you enjoy wearing my creations as much as I enjoyed creating them.” -Naree
