Sarran and Vassana are brands founded by members of our 2025 Future List. As local craftsmanship evolves on a global scale, Lisa wears sculptural jewellery from Sarran\u2019s The Ambassador Collection, paired with clothing and a bag by Vassana. Together, the look brings Thai jewellery and fashion into a single, modern statement directed by strong design and skilled craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jewellery here moves beyond decoration to reflect identity and heritage in a modern form. This visual story brings together Sarran and Vassana, two brands connected by a shared approach to presenting Thai craftsmanship through contemporary design.

Designed by Sarran Youkongdee, Sarran is defined by sculptural jewellery that balances structure and movement. The designs draw from nature, contemporary femininity, and traditional Thai forms such as the ma-lai (flower garland), translated into modern pieces intended for everyday wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The brand places women at the centre of its design philosophy, using jewellery as a form of self-expression. Sarran reaches a significant moment through its collaboration with Lisa, whose global presence aligns naturally with the brand\u2019s focus on modern femininity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Known for refined craftsmanship and attention to detail, Sarran creates art pieces in a way that feels personal while remaining internationally relevant. Each piece echoes Sarran\u2019s belief that elegance is earned through confidence and individuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering a complementary approach, Vassana works with clothing and bags crafted from bamboo-based materials. This marks the first time the brand has dressed Lisa, signalling a new stage in its creative development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Designed by Vassana Saima and her son Sawin Saima, Vassana is recognised for its signature striped weave, developed through bamboo research in Phayao and produced by local artisans. Grounded in traditional techniques and shaped by modern design, the brand creates pieces that are sustainable, wearable, and considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCourtesy of Koktailthailand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Vassana\u2019s work has reached international platforms, including a collaboration with Dior, where Thai bamboo weaving was used to reinterpret the Cannage motif for the Lady Dior Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sarran and Vassana form a cohesive dialogue for Thai design today, grounded in craftsmanship and positioned for a global audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
