Wongwian Yai (meaning ‘Big Circle’ in Thai) is a roundabout in Thonburi, the old capital of Thailand. Wongwian Yai used to be a major business center before Bangkok became the capital. Nearby Charoenrat Road is famous as the center of leather goods shops in Thailand. There are specialty shops with supplies for shoe-making and purse-making. This area is just over the river from Bangkok across the Taksin Bridge (Sathorn Bridge). If you walk out exit 3 from the Wongwian Yai skytrain station and head down Soi Krung Thon Buri 1 also known as Soi Salapi, you’ll see the leather shops.
The shops have awls, wooden yardsticks, wax, die-cut tools, mallets, silver pens for writing on leather, vinyl, canvas, zippers by the roll, purse handles, chains, snaps, buckles and of course leather.
There is a shop called Laser Gallery which will laser-cut material such as leather, acrylic, wood, cloth, and plastic. You can bring acrylic sheets not more than 3 mm thick and they will cut it in shapes to your specifications. Open 8:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Saturday. This might be the only place around where you can buy a fish skin made into leather.
After walking down Soi Salapi, turn right on Charoenrat Road and there are fabric shops selling sequin covered fabric which would make a very nice dressy evening gown or dance apparel, such as Pravitrungroj. Also lots of purse handles including wooden and leather ones. Well worth a trip. There were a few tourists too! Open Monday through Saturday 8:30 am to 7:00 pm.

Dear Jill, so happy to have found your website! Can I please find out if you will need to negotiate (haggle) on price at these stores or they usually already have prices listed? I’m looking for clutch bag shells and frames. World Champ looks amazing. thank you!

I think you just ask what is the wholesale price. If you order more, the price goes down. I don’t think you haggle. It depends on the quantity.

Hello Jill:
So nice to meet you. Maybe you can help me 🙂
Im Maria, and Im traveling to Bangkok at the end of October.
I have my small business of leather belt bags: a small pouch bag to put around hips, or cross body.
I make the production in a small family factory in Delhi, India.
Im happy with process, but would like to make me an idea of quality and leathers and prices , to produce in Thailand
Maybe i only can buy leathers in Thailand, and continue producing in Delhi, or maybe, all process in thailand
Could you recommend me where to produce leather good in thailand? Where they supply me the leathers, etc,
It would be great
Wait for your reply
my mail is
manearte@gmail.com
Thanks
Maria

Thank you for the information. I went to Soi Sarapi couple times but did not have this info so I was at lost. I will have to get back there again since I want to get some leather to make some bags. 🙂
