"Unique beautifully made bag"

I just received my sling bag yesterday. I am very pleased with my purchase. As I anticipated this bag is very well crafted with extra touches I could not see on the screen when I ordered it. Given the array of colors I will be able to wear with much of my wardrobe. Once again, thank you Novica and your participating artisans.

"I am a person who always likes to do everything, better and better. If I feel something isn't good enough, I don't give up. I will always try my best until I achieve what I want."

"Hello! My name is Chirada Loetparisanyu. I was born on April 7, 1973. My hometown is in Chonburi province, but I moved to Chiang Mai because my brother was studying there, and my parents wanted me to take care of him. We're only two siblings and I'm the eldest. My parents worked in agriculture before turning to handicrafts. They opened a workshop in Chiang Mai, which I look after, and now they have another one in Bangkok.

"I graduated from Kasetsart University with a degree in Agriculture in 1996. I have always been interested in handicrafts that are made from natural materials, so I observed and learned from magazines, books, television programs and everything around me. I started with textiles and, by 2000, I was transforming textiles into clothes and dresses. By late 2005 and the beginning of 2006, I was tooling leather handbags, which appealed to many people. I then explored the possibility of including hill tribe cotton textiles into my designs, which continued to feature quality leather.

"All of my designs are about our Thai lifestyle. I adapt local styles with modern trends. I am very glad that many people like my work and I am constantly working towards improving the quality of my work in order to reach international standards.

"My goal for the future is to be happy with my life and create new products such as notebooks, shoes and shawls.

"The most important thing in my life is that I can take care of my parents when they get old, as well as to continue designing and creating bags that people around the world would like.

"My work starts with something I like, and I develop the design from there based on my own imagination as well as what I see around me. I also welcome people's opinions on my designs so I can improve. I am a person who always likes to do everything, better and better. If I feel something isn't good enough, I don't give up. I will always try my best until I achieve what I want.

"I hope people will like my work, and I want people in another countries to know more about Thai handicrafts. I think Novica is not only about selling art work, but also about showing the charm of culture."

I Love my handbag, it has such a unique quality to it and it is beautifully made. I have a great deal of fun using it.

Gorgeous Bag. Many compliments and inquiries every time I carry it. People are fascinated by the red embroidered center panel - they are delighted to hear that it is fashioned from the shawls the Hill Tribe Women use to carry their babies. Una Who Wanders

This is my second bag I have bought from this artist. My first one lasted about 5 years of rough daily use despite looking very delicate. It mostly got a little raggedy on the bottom which I thought gave it characters but my husband did not agree so I bought a new one :) I am very excited to get the second one.It is beautiful and practical with inside and outside pockets. I have always gotten compliments on these bags. They are well made and show a lot of thought and care. They come beautifully wrapped with information, a note from the artist, and a 60 day return policy. I am sure this is not my last bag I will be purchasing from Chirada!
