Success Series: When recycling vintage tees makes it over the border

The Picaso of t-shirts, as Best ( the nickname of Mr. Patipat Chaipukdee, the man behind Drycleanonly Bangkok) is best known, started his business in 2008 by opening a small shop at the popular weekend market of Chatuchak.

Six year later his brand is distributed internationally in some of the coolest shops in the world including Colette in Paris, Sauce in Dubai and Shine in Beijing.

The concept is simple – hunting vintage tees with mostly rock and wildlife themes and change their look for good by cuting, reshaping and embellishing them with lace, tulle, beads, rhinestones, silk screen prints, jewels, studs, etc.

The result is unique and sustainable, and what is more, everything is handcrafted.
