Thailand Handmade and Redwing Imports Story

Hello Everyone and thank you for checking us out.

We have been producing, designing sourcing and exporting handcrafted products from North Thailand for over 22 years. We have a team and partnerships all over North Thailand which has enabled us to work closely with the Thai Artisan villagers in order to produce quality and exotic handmade items.
Although our venture has taken us in so many different paths in regards to our home decor product line latley our main focus has been working with reclaimed wood and producing wood powder art reptiles and animals and dragon statues, dragon figurines as well working with Bamboo we found our selves specializing the popular smoking handsculptured incense holders.

My Personal Start:
My first year I started just purchasing and importing thinking that it was going to be a easy way to earn an income displaying my wares at markets ,shopping malls, music festivals and home shows . With finding this as a great opportunity I also found lots of obstacles.
While getting rave reviews from the direct market I was finding one of the most important issues was failing me...... "quality".

Knowing and learning that there was a market for these type of products I had to make a decision as to either address the issues or simply get out of the business.

After considering my options and knowing how much I enjoyed the people and their rich culture and realizing that this could be nothing but another great opportunity as I believe I had found the niche at this point.

From there I set up a work shop in order to introduce my necessary changes and upgrades and started building the relationships that I would need in order to succeed in this venture. Patience and learning how to be accustomed to Thai ways and culture led me to find a window of opportunity.

With a lot of back and forth between my changes and implementing them along with the production of the artisans I started exporting on a larger scale as my events got larger as well .

To date I have found myself involved in a wide variety of many different products and made so many great relationships and lessons along the way.

Myself and my team hope that you will have a look at our most unique quality handmade Items as it is not only our intention to satisfy our customers but yet to "Amaze our Customers !"
