The Founding Twenty-Five
The first twenty-five,
and then never again.
Every house that lasts began with a first believer. The first twenty-five Andaman Thread bags are the founding pieces of this one: numbered in the order they are claimed, signed by Sunisa, and recorded here permanently. Years from now, when the collection is long and the prices are higher, these twenty-five will still be the first twenty-five. That cannot be repeated, remade, or bought later at any price.
All twenty-five are still unclaimed. The first piece bought becomes No. 1.
What a founding piece carries
- Its number. Stitched into the record, not printed on a label: your piece is No. 1 of everything this atelier will ever make.
- Sunisa's signature. Each founding piece is signed by the maker whose hands made every stitch.
- A handwritten card from the teak house in Koh Lanta, written the day your piece is finished.
- A complimentary monogram on request, worked in a tonal thread. After the founding, monograms are a paid addition.
- Its own permanent page. Every piece has a certificate page recording its number, its dates, and the notes and photos from its making. It outlives the order.
- The founding price. When the twenty-fifth piece finds its home, every price in the atelier rises for good. We never discount, so no piece will ever again cost what a founding piece costs.
The Founders' Hall
Recorded as each piece is claimed. A number, once written, is never reused.

Asked, honestly answered
Why only twenty-five?
Because every piece is made by one pair of hands, and because a founding has to end for it to mean anything. Twenty-five is roughly a season of Sunisa's work.
Does a custom commission count?
Yes. Every bag, whether chosen from the collection or designed by you, takes the next number in the sequence. The charm does not count; the founding is a record of bags.
What happens after the twenty-fifth?
Prices rise across the atelier, announced in advance on each piece's page, and the founding terms end. Nothing is ever remade: every piece is still made once and only once; what changes is its price and whether it carries a founding number. We never discount, so early believers are never punished for trusting us first.
