Thai fashion brand Stretsis officially launched in 2002. The brand is successful because of the combined efforts of the power trio that makes up this eccentric Thai brand. Sretsis is the word ‘sisters’ spelled backward, and without each sibling contributing their particular set of skills, Sretsis would not be possible. Pim Sukhahuta designs the clothes, oldest sister Kly oversees all marketing affairs, and youngest sister Matina contributes her very own jewelry line.
