PRE-ORDER (shipping late November)

Huh! Is this really possible? In Thailand, people repurpose everyday items like tarps, bed sheets, towels, or even old advertising banners as car covers. At first glance, it might just look like a simple cover to protect a car from dust, sun, rain, or construction debris. But if you look closer, you'll see a distinct DIY charm born from everyday ingenuity. Whether it's tying ropes to secure a tarp or using heavy objects to keep it from blowing away, each solution has a touch of creative practicality.

As a childhood toy car collector, I see this as a perfect example of urban vernacular creativity. When people can't afford a high-quality cover, necessity pushes them to transform available materials into something new. It's a classic case of 'making do with what you have.' This behavioural phenomenon becomes an art form worthy of appreciation and wonder, created through the simple actions of everyday people. While these may be just car covers, looking at them from a design perspective reveals a beautiful complexity. The mismatched patterns and patched-together materials—kloom kloom—might seem random, but they give each car a unique, eye-catching character.
