Jim Thompson, a globally renowned producer of handwoven silks, is celebrated for its iconic Thai silks, opulent materials, detailed patterns, and dedication to conserving the heritage of Thai weaving communities. Additionally, the brand has expanded its offerings to include a growing range of high-quality performance textiles and wallcoverings.

No.9 Thompson, launched in 2006, is a dynamic brand with a relaxed, casual elegance. Led by Richard Smith, No.9 Thompson emphasizes accessibility and a painterly scope in its designs, utilizing various materials such as linen and cotton. The brand has received numerous accolades for its unique blend of heritage and contemporary sensibility.
