Style-wise, there are few things in the city as memorable as shophouse style. Shophouse Steel Door takes their inspiration from metal doors and shophouses to produce a low-key streetwear brand that’s very Bangkok.

 

Thai-Chinese shophouses are alive and well, and this brand is producing streetwear that brings a vintage look with a modern feel, producing hats and shirts for every day.
