Adiantes is proud to announce the start of production and development for a curated handbag line in collaboration with a prominent fashion startup based in the United States. This project underscores our ongoing commitment to quality, functionality, and sustainability in the field of premium leather goods manufacturing.<h2>Local Sourcing and Sustainable Production</h2>In alignment with the client’s vision, Adiantes has focused on sourcing materials locally in Thailand. By collaborating with leading Thai tanneries, we have developed a leather skin optimized specifically for handbag production. This approach not only ensures superior durability and finish but also significantly reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to importing raw materials from overseas.Sustainability has always been a cornerstone of Adiantes’ operations. By keeping production and material sourcing close to our facilities, we are able to maintain transparency, reduce logistics impact, and support local industries.<figure id="figure-n969raovkpmfop0fov"><img id="n969raovkpmfop0fov" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/33BJE7jIoWThMJuhDHLR96jhDG1gggBBiT1sobpEcQ5Itiw0iUNZFFqlJZMjKjGo.jpg" alt="Handbag in genuine leather from Adiantes co., ltd." title="Handbag in genuine leather from Adiantes co., ltd." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 0%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionX="50%" data-positionY="0%" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure><h3>Designed for Functionality and Everyday Use</h3>For this project, functionality has been a top priority.

The result is a product that meets the modern consumer’s demand for both style and practicality.Production is now in progress, and we look forward to supporting our client in their official launch later in Q4 for the American market.

As a leading producer of fashion, textile, and leather goods in Thailand, we are proud to announce the submission of our 2025 Communication on Progress (CoP) to the United Nations Global Compact (<a data-mce-href="https://unglobalcompact.org/" href="https://unglobalcompact.org/">UNGC</a>). This milestone reaffirms our commitment to ethical manufacturing, human rights, labor standards, environmental responsibility, and anti-corruption.<figure id="figure-tf08ggvzc6mde2ybxd"><img id="tf08ggvzc6mde2ybxd" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/ahMlcaeRaN9lIBjyR1Z1TgKiGg6ZZz32Gx34zxPI6XbHz1U4pV6PEpHT7tg0cJVa.jpeg" alt="Man works on a upholstery leather factory" title="Man works on a upholstery leather factory" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/ahMlcaeRaN9lIBjyR1Z1TgKiGg6ZZz32Gx34zxPI6XbHz1U4pV6PEpHT7tg0cJVa.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Alongside our CoP, Adiantes has also submitted its 2025 Moving Forward Faster report, which focuses on two critical pillars of our social impact strategy: gender equality and the living wage. These areas are central to our mission of creating a more equitable and sustainable supply chain, both within Thailand and globally.Gender equality at Adiantes goes beyond workforce representation. Over 70% of our team are women, many of whom are the main income earners in their families. We ensure women are given equal pay, equal opportunity for career growth, and access to leadership training. Our inclusive policies support long-term career development while fostering a work environment that values balance, respect, and empowerment at all levels.Our commitment to a living wage means that all workers at Adiantes earn above the legal minimum, enough to support a dignified and stable life. We’ve established transparent wage systems and regularly assess our compensation structure based on local cost-of-living data. This effort strengthens the financial resilience of our workforce and promotes long-term well-being across our operations.By aligning our practices with the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, Adiantes is building a model for responsible leather and textile manufacturing. We continue to lead by example in the Thai leather goods industry, encouraging other producers to go beyond compliance and prioritize the rights and livelihoods of their employees. Our participation in the UNGC is not only a reflection of our values but also a roadmap for how we plan to grow, with purpose, transparency, and integrity. Our latest reporting reaffirms that ethical sourcing, gender-inclusive policies, and economic stability are not only possible but essential in the future of sustainable fashion.To explore our latest Communication on Progress, visit our <a data-mce-href="https://unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/participants/65781-Adiantes-Co-Ltd-" href="https://unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/participants/65781-Adiantes-Co-Ltd-">profile</a> on the UN Global Compact platform.

Adiantes Submits 2025 UNGC Progress Report

This July, <a data-mce-href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/adiantes/" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/adiantes/">Adiantes</a> and <a data-mce-href="https://www.rsmwatchstrap.com/" href="https://www.rsmwatchstrap.com/">RSM Watch Straps</a> are proud to announce the global launch of a new product category: silk watch straps that blend refined craftsmanship, sustainable innovation, and cutting-edge material engineering. Following months of research and development, silk production is now complete, and the straps are ready for global e-commerce release.The foundation of this project began with an unlikely material, artisan-woven silk. Traditionally associated with fashion and textiles, silk is rarely seen in the world of horology. But our team at Adiantes, together with Yiyan Lin, owner of RSM, saw untapped potential in its natural sheen, soft drape, and surprising strength. The result is a new class of watch straps that not only look luxurious but also perform exceptionally well in everyday wear.<figure id="figure-p6yuink6nmcii8hz1"><img id="p6yuink6nmcii8hz1" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/677S7ztRRzg4VQxqvxIxdtIRJD78QvUXmwGVHwOmCPhBu88B6kDcFLmCOc8XbZIq.jpg" alt="RSM Silk watch strap in Green" title="RSM Silk watch strap in Green" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/677S7ztRRzg4VQxqvxIxdtIRJD78QvUXmwGVHwOmCPhBu88B6kDcFLmCOc8XbZIq.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure>Transforming silk into a high-functioning watch strap requires a deep R&amp;D process. At Adiantes, we developed a multi-layer construction that preserves the elegance of silk while reinforcing it with modern durability. Inside each strap lies a Zermatt leather lining, soft, hypoallergenic, and water-resistant, ensuring lasting comfort and structure. The silk itself is woven in the European Union by expert mills and handled with extreme care throughout our production in Thailand, where our team uses proprietary techniques to strengthen, stitch, and finish the material without compromising its natural character.Sustainability has remained central throughout the entire development. Silk is a biodegradable, renewable resource, and by partnering with small-scale weavers and producing responsibly in our Thai facility, we uphold a transparent supply chain based on ethical labor and environmental mindfulness. This project reflects Adiantes’ ongoing commitment to sustainable materials, ethical production, and long-term impact, values that increasingly matter to today’s watch enthusiasts.What makes these silk straps stand out is their unique blend of artistry and utility. They are light yet tough, tactile yet precise. The collaboration with RSM also brings in bold design and refined hardware, including their innovative clasp system that protects the material and makes wearing the strap effortless. Available in both two-piece and reversible designs, each strap adds a fresh, unexpected character to the wrist while respecting the craftsmanship of traditional horology.<figure id="figure-6giydr3wfrmcii8wao"><img id="6giydr3wfrmcii8wao" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/359HyRtkiq5dNWSI19YkyaQLuQcmj6O6QNsvtUwmn1rXUZH2mwYZtA2tLrpsP1ct.jpg" alt="Pair of RSM Silk watch strap in Blue" title="Pair of RSM Silk watch strap in Blue" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/359HyRtkiq5dNWSI19YkyaQLuQcmj6O6QNsvtUwmn1rXUZH2mwYZtA2tLrpsP1ct.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure><figure id="figure-cwqrbmk16hmcii9iqo"><img id="cwqrbmk16hmcii9iqo" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/dVHPBWWdTSXROTsgWnmAMqJqq1BPNyeBFm5OQHQyRfejOLj1Cbjj471H3pOLZgTb.jpg" alt="Pair of RSM Silk watch strap in Green" title="Pair of RSM Silk watch strap in Green" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>As these straps become available worldwide through e-commerce channels in July, Adiantes continues to drive material innovation and accessory design with clients such as with Yiyan at RSM.

With the launch of KIMONO REBORN UNIVERSE, the focus now expands to global e-commerce, bringing these sustainable creations to conscious consumers worldwide.As a manufacturing and development partner for this collaboration, we at Adiantes are deeply committed to the mission behind the brand: reducing kimono textile waste and creating a more sustainable future for fashion. Every year, thousands of kimonos are discarded; many end up in landfills. These beautiful garments, often made from silk, cotton, or wool, take years to decompose and represent not only environmental harm but also the loss of artisanal value.That’s where KIMONO REBORN UNIVERSE steps in, with a powerful vision of circular design. Together, we work to upcycle kimono waste into new, meaningful products. All items are carefully crafted by skilled employees in Thailand with precision, care, and respect for the original textile’s story.<figure id="figure-xplwip9vn6mmcd4uqsl"><img id="xplwip9vn6mmcd4uqsl" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1clNkNw7snio4giGtAP6NjOOovSeuxQpZs0NTkG2dgtem3lX1NBekWFpTOvYyGxf.jpg" alt="KRU keychain in leather and kimono" title="KRU keychain in leather and kimono" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl selected" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1clNkNw7snio4giGtAP6NjOOovSeuxQpZs0NTkG2dgtem3lX1NBekWFpTOvYyGxf.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-mce-selected="1"></figure>This project is more than a collection; it’s a movement.
