Everyday essentials, made by women rebuilding their lives
Thrive is a fair-wage workshop and fashion label in Chiang Mai. Each tote, wallet and pouch is designed with care, made from traditional Thai fabrics and leather, and paid for in safe, steady work.
Made to be carried every day
Three pieces, each named for a part of the journey the women who make them are on.
The Journey Tote
Traditional Thai fabric, built for markets, errands and long days out. It carries your essentials and the story of the hands that made it.
The Passage Wallet
Spacious and sturdy, with room for a passport, phone and cards. A piece for safe travels and new beginnings.
The Haven Pouch
A small sanctuary of order for make-up, travel things or the bits that rattle around a bag. Simple, useful and beautifully finished.
What your Thrive piece pays for
When you buy from Thrive, you bring home something well made and you pay for safe, fair-wage employment for women emerging from crisis, exploitation or trauma.
Your purchase also supports prevention programmes and community awareness work that challenges gender-based violence and protects the next generation. It is a quiet kind of stand, carried on your shoulder or in your pocket.
Gender-based violence in Thailand is common and rarely counted
Those figures come from the last large prevalence study of its kind in Thailand. Researchers have noted that no national study on the same scale has been carried out since, which means much of the violence women experience still goes unmeasured.
For migrant women, survivors of exploitation and women from conflict-affected or low-income backgrounds, the risk is higher still. Many lack safe jobs, stable income or legal support, which leaves them exposed to further harm.
Thrive was built as a direct response. Safe employment, a steady wage and trauma-informed support give women the footing to rebuild their lives, support their families and plan for the long term.
From a first shift to a lasting livelihood
The problem
Many women lack access to safe employment and the chance to build a meaningful livelihood.
