The Story of KTPK

Our story starts with one woman, one needle, and a thread.

In 1988, Tuk began sewing. What started as one woman's craft in Thailand became, slowly, a family. Today KTPK is a second-generation atelier, run by her daughter Fon — still hand-dyed, still made the way Tuk taught.

We grew the way good things grow: piece by piece. Year by year. From a single sewer to a workshop of 25 artisans. From a workshop to a recognized name in artisan tie-dye.

What we do

We hand-dye and sew clothing for boutiques and fashion brands worldwide. We work with rayon, cotton, and natural fibers — folded, twisted, bound, and dyed by hand in our workshop in Thailand. Each piece is unique. That's not a marketing line — it's the nature of hand-dyeing. No two pieces will ever come out exactly alike, and that's exactly the point.

How we work

We offer:

• Wholesale — buy from our existing collection
• OEM / Made-to-Order — we make to your specifications
• Private Label — your brand label sewn into our garments

Our minimum order is 30 pieces, which can be split across multiple colors or styles. Sample cost is $100 per design, credited toward your bulk order. Production lead time is 1 to 2 months from approved sample. We produce up to 10,000 pieces per month.

Why family matters

Twenty-five artisans work in our workshop in Thailand. They are not employees in the traditional sense — they are family. Above-standard pay, real days off, clean ventilated workspace, no underage workers, and a real commitment to fair treatment. We don't just say “ethical.” We do it the way Tuk did it from day one.

Every piece you order from us has been touched by people we know by name. The same hands that have been folding and dyeing for decades are still the hands at our workshop today.

Tuk taught us that craftsmanship isn't a strategy. It's just how you do the work.

We've been doing it this way since 1988. We don't plan to change.
