Ten new pieces, photographed over the sea

For weeks the shop held three pieces. Today it holds thirteen.

Sunisa has been working through the rains, and the new collection went up on the deck of the old house this morning, hung one at a time from the rafters over the water to be photographed the way everything here is photographed: grey sea behind, storm light, no studio.

The one we keep coming back to is The Monsoon, a deep cobalt tote in a honeycomb stitch so dense it stands on its own feet. It is the most saturated thing she has ever made, the colour of the sea an hour before the rain arrives, and there is exactly one.

The Old Town pairs quiet ecru cotton with stitched dark leather handles and a single white daisy. The Saladan is the playful one, watermelon pink banded with palm green, named for the pier town where the fruit boats come in. The Sandbar and The Cowrie are the new crossbodies, one woven in warm sand, one worked in rows of small shell-stitch fans with a scalloped rim.

And then there is The Long Beach, the bag for the market and the boat: an open net that stretches to hold more than it should, made in five colourways. Each colourway is a single piece. When it finds its home, it is gone.

Every one of them is one of a kind, numbered among the first twenty-five Andaman Thread bags ever made. The whole collection is here.
