A QUICK TRIP TO THAILAND


Here at Ruby+Ed HQ we are all great ambassadors of our brand that we love to take a little piece with us wherever we go. Therefore we have decided to start the 'Around the world diaries with Ruby+Ed' to let you all know about our adventures out of the office and also to show you how we like to personally style our own products.  

Claire our newest addition to the trade team has just come back from a two week holiday in Thailand where she went to go and meet a university friend who is out there travelling.

Claire is now back in the office working away and longing for those golden sand beaches she has recently left behind. Here is her story of her holiday accompanied with some beautiful pictures she took whilst she was out there.


“I recently took Ruby+Ed around the world for a holiday in Thailand, where I met my friend Anna - who now resides in Australia (lucky thing!). Flying into Bangkok, we spent two days exploring Koh San road and the crazy sights of “backpacker” land – getting Thai massages, bartering for souvenirs and taking a “Tuk Tuk” to the Grand Palace of Bangkok. The city is crazy and there are bright colours everywhere! The beautiful silks and fabrics of Thailand are prevalent in every market stall and tailors on every corner offer bespoke dresses and suits cut in amazing prints and colours.

From Bangkok we took a 13 hour overnight bus to the Island of Koh Tao, where we spent lazy days chilling on the amazing beaches and enjoying a passion fruit daiquiri at night time! The following days were spent Island hopping on the fisherman boats, taking in amazing bays and beautiful sunsets before heading back to Bangkok for a final two days.

Inspired by the beautiful fashion and colours of Thailand, I couldn’t resist showing off some of Ruby+Ed’s SS12 Collection and Anna loved wearing the Esha Tunic and the Ria Emerald on the beaches and around the city streets. Teaming them with a pair of denim shorts and a pair of knotted sandals in chocolate, she got many admiring glances and the tunic looked amazing on the beach over a bikini or later in the beach bar!

I had an amazing time and came back with so many photos of the bright colours and sunshine of Thailand – as well as inspiration for Ruby+Ed’s future collections. I would definitely recommend a trip to paradise, with Ruby+Ed in hand to ensure you sparkle on the sand and look stylish at sunset!”
