What people say
“Found my favourite jacket through the map. The story page is what sold me — someone actually cared where it came from.”

Questions
Where is Ossuary Atelier based?
Phuket, Thailand. Every piece is sourced locally, from shops, weekend markets and secondhand stalls across the island.
How do I buy something?
There's no cart. Browse the shop, then DM @ossuaryatelier on Instagram to claim a piece. We confirm availability and arrange handover or shipping in the chat.
What does “provenance” mean here?
For select pieces we publish a written story page — where it was sourced, its era and material, and why it was worth keeping. It's a documented record, not a claim or a certificate.
Is the Phuket Thrift Guide really free?
Yes. The guide, the map and the tools are free and ad-free, with no tracking cookies and no personal data collection. If you want to keep them that way, see Support.
Do you use AI?
Sparingly, and honestly. We're not anti-technology — we're exploring how to use new tools for creative, human work without letting them replace the writing, sourcing and taste that make this worth doing. Read more on the About page.
