Ossuary Atelier's field journal — piece stories, thrift guides, sourcing notes, and the study of found things.
An ongoing guide to the secondhand shops where Ossuary Atelier sources its pieces.
GuideThe shop where ITEM-005 was found. A reliable Phuket find with Japanese imports surfacing regularly.
GuideThe market that actually carries the Chatuchak name in Phuket — five buildings of secondhand, plus the Vintage Market 77 weekend layer.
GuideNo fixed hours, no aisles, no catalogue. A late-night Phuket shop run by a collector, and how to visit the right way.
GuideWhere the Michiko Koshino dress came from. A dense, well-stocked shop worth visiting on weekday mornings.
Field NotesFour hours in and nothing. Then a face-down Glad News hoodie on a folding table between sections 5 and 6.
ArchiveFound between a rack of fleece hoodies — a Japanese wool knit that was impossible to put back.
ArchiveFace-down in a bin, pulled out because the fabric weight was wrong for everything around it.
ArchiveIdentified on sight before the stall had finished setting up.
ArchiveA loud Y2K orange tee with a tattoo-style print across the chest.
ArchiveA neon pink cotton longsleeve with a small print and an easy, relaxed cut.
ArchiveNot every piece gets a full story page. The rest live in the shop with their details intact.
