Jim Thompson Matmi II Fabrics
Matmi II by Jim Thompson honors one of Thailands oldest textile traditions, tie-dye or matmi, entirely crafted by skilled artisans. Yarns are bound, dyed, dried, and then meticulously woven to form patterns that result in only around 40 cm of exquisite ikat fabric produced daily. Faux nylon raffia replaces traditional banana bark in the binding process, reflecting a thoughtful blend of heritage and modern innovation. The collection highlights vibrant motifs and contemporary patterns that still respect the spirit of regional craftsmanship. Suitable for those seeking to infuse spaces with a cultural narrative, Matmi II adds depth and authenticity to upholstery, drapery, or decorative pieces. We also provide made to measure curtains, blinds, and upholstery services, offering design advice on integrating these heritage-inspired fabrics into your home or project for a refined yet culturally resonant look.
