Every bag in the house is cut from rare vintage obi and kimono fabric, so no two are ever the same. Made by hand upstairs, sold downstairs, in a green courtyard off Soi Pridi Banomyong.
Every one is cut from vintage obi and kimono silk brought over from Japan, then sewn upstairs. When a fabric runs out, that bag is gone for good.
An obi is the wide sash worn with a kimono. They are woven in Japan, worn for years, and then most of them sit in a cupboard. We buy them, bring them to Bangkok, and cut them into something you will actually carry.
Silk, gold thread, and patterns nobody weaves any more. Each one arrives as a single length of cloth, and there is only ever one of it.
Cut by hand upstairs, panel by panel, so the best of the pattern lands on the front of the bag. One obi makes only a handful of pieces.
When that fabric runs out, the bag is gone for good. Nothing is reprinted and nothing is restocked. What is in the shop is what is left.
Hill-tribe embroidery from the north, and our own canvas printed with Thai letters.
A sweet little partnership with JaPhai, the Japanese storytellers behind Bangkok’s best-kept secrets. The fruit prints are cut and sewn here, into mini pouches and drawstring pouches you can carry every day.
Name necklaces, initials, birthstones and charms, drawn letter by letter and made to order in the same Sukhumvit house. Choose 925 sterling silver, or 9K, 14K and 18K gold, with any gemstone you like.
Yes. Each one is cut from a vintage obi or kimono silk brought over from Japan, and one length of cloth only makes a handful of pieces. When that fabric runs out the bag is gone for good, so if you are looking at something you like, it is worth not waiting.
60 baht, flat. Bangkok orders take up to 48 hours to pack, then go out by Thailand Post or Grab depending on how far they are travelling.
Worldwide. Standard is Thai Post Air Mail, usually 10 to 21 days. Express by FedEx or EMS is 4 to 10 days, or 2 to 4 days to Japan, Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong, and costs roughly 30 to 50 US dollars depending on size and destination. Ask us and we will quote it before you order.
Customs duties and import taxes are set by your own country and are not included in what you pay us.
Yes, as long as it is unused and still in its original packaging. Once it reaches us and we have checked it, we email you and the refund goes back to the card or account you paid with, within seven working days. Sale items cannot be refunded, and we replace rather than refund anything that arrives damaged or defective.
Please do. We are at 259/80 Soi Pridi Banomyong 13, off Sukhumvit 71, open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 to 17:00. Downstairs is the collection, upstairs is where the bags are cut and sewn, and there is a garden to sit in.
Still unsure? Ask us anything, we answer in English, Thai and Japanese.
Toanoi is a shop, a gallery and a small garden cafe in one Sukhumvit townhouse. Downstairs is the collection; upstairs is where the bags are cut and sewn. Come for an hour, stay for tea.
Coming soonA little coffee corner is opening in the garden behind the shop — espresso, cold brew and a quiet table under the trees. Browse the bags first, then stay for a cup.
