The Osteology

Ossuary Atelier's field journal — piece stories, thrift guides, sourcing notes, and the study of found things.

The Thrift Guide: Phuket

An ongoing guide to the secondhand shops where Ossuary Atelier sources its pieces.

Waanwaal, Phuket

The shop where ITEM-005 was found. A reliable Phuket find with Japanese imports surfacing regularly.

Chatuchak Phuket (JJ Phuket)

The market that actually carries the Chatuchak name in Phuket — five buildings of secondhand, plus the Vintage Market 77 weekend layer.

Secret Thrift

No fixed hours, no aisles, no catalogue. A late-night Phuket shop run by a collector, and how to visit the right way.

O-WA Second Hand, Phuket

Where the Michiko Koshino dress came from. A dense, well-stocked shop worth visiting on weekday mornings.

Chatuchak, November 2024

Four hours in and nothing. Then a face-down Glad News hoodie on a folding table between sections 5 and 6.

Michiko Koshino Knit Dress

Found between a rack of fleece hoodies — a Japanese wool knit that was impossible to put back.

Spinash Graphic Polo

Face-down in a bin, pulled out because the fabric weight was wrong for everything around it.

Glad News Skull Hoodie Vest

Identified on sight before the stall had finished setting up.

Orange "THE" Tattoo Shirt

A loud Y2K orange tee with a tattoo-style print across the chest.

Neon Pink Killshot Longsleeve

A neon pink cotton longsleeve with a small print and an easy, relaxed cut.

Everything Else

Not every piece gets a full story page. The rest live in the shop with their details intact.
