WHY

Skilled rural artisans — including emerging young silk artists and master weavers — often face limited access to stable and fair markets. Although their work preserves cultural heritage and local knowledge, fragmented sales channels and inconsistent demand restrict income security and long-term sustainability.

At the same time, children with disabilities and their families face financial barriers to learning, safe housing, healthcare access, and transportation. Without diversified and sustainable revenue streams, community-based support systems remain fragile.

Khwan Market Place responds by linking ethical commerce with inclusive development — strengthening livelihoods while expanding opportunity for vulnerable families.

WHAT WE DO

Khwan Market Place is a curated social marketplace that promotes fair and sustainable crafts while reinvesting revenue into inclusive community programs.

We connect buyers to:

• Handwoven silk created by young silk artists
• Signature works from village master weavers
• Bespoke and made-to-order silk products
• Pre-owned heritage textiles
• Collectible and limited-edition craft pieces

Our products are available through curated channels, including:

Khwan Silk Crafts at ICONCRAFT, 4th Floor, ICONSIAM, Bangkok

Each product reflects craftsmanship, cultural continuity, and shared responsibility.
