Khun Koy

"Here I was, doing something completely different to what I knew. My only tools were my eagerness to learn, and my love to create beautiful and good quality apparel."

"I am proud to be who I am, a Thai woman who is very happy with what she's doing. I consider myself to be a... free-thinker, but I always pay attention to the advice I'm offered. I am focused in what I do, and I always strive to do my best with what I may have, such as experience, time, etc. I also make a point of not working all the time, but to make sure I relax and spend time with my family.

"My name is Chatchayanee Khamcharoen but every one calls me Koy, which refers to the last finger. I got this nickname because I am the youngest of three sisters. My parents are teachers, and they've always been concerned that we – their daughters as well as their students – become good people so we may ensure a good society. To them education was the best legacy thing they could leave us, so after school they encouraged us to learn other things, like sports or music. They've always supported our choices and the paths we have taken as adults.

"I believe those teachings help me nowadays, especially when I face new things or encounter new challenges. I am a very determined person, hard working, and very patient. This mentality leads me as I walk down the paths of life, and I find it very reassuring, which makes me happy.

"I have a Master's degree in chemistry and I used to live and work in eastern Thailand. But I felt my parents where getting older and I wanted to be near them, so I moved back to Chiang Mai, where I worked for two more years.

"A friend, my sisters and I started to buy and sell clothes at the Sunday walking market. We realized that the quality of the clothes wasn't very good though, so we decided to work with tailors while we did the designs and focused on better quality material. In this way, we have a better control over quality.

"It began as a hobby, while I still had my chemistry job, which paid well. However, one of my partners decided to leave and do something different, so I decided to quit my job and dedicate myself full time to this new apparel venture. It was such a challenge! Here I was, doing something completely different to what I knew. My only tools were my eagerness to learn and my love to create beautiful and good quality apparel. These days, when a customer compliments one of my designs I feel very happy and proud, because I learned it on my own.

"Nowadays the market is full of expensive, brand name low quality apparel. When I buy clothes I check for the quality of thew material and the cost, so I think that's what other people do too. That's why my main concern is to make good quality apparel at affordable prices so that most people can buy them.

"My mother teaches traditional Thai dances and music, and I grew up watching many shows and performances. I love traditional Thai costumes! But they can be very expensive - my dream is to someday be able to afford one... or two!

"I never aim for too much money; I just aim to have enough and be happy in life, responsible for my work and also for society, as well as to help others whenever I can. I try to give an opportunity to others when I can. I try to forgive the others who have done something wrong to me. And the most important thing is, that I will always pay my gratitude to others, to society, and also to the environment and nature."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

Triple 'Win' Pricing

UNICEF Market offers triple win pricing, where YOU the consumer, Children from around the world, and Artisans all benefit.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.

WIN # 3 Artisans Profit!

UNICEF Market artisans set their own prices and control their own businesses. UNICEF Market offers artisans a free platform to sell their work throughout the United States.
