Live out Loud offers a range of quality lifestyle accessories fresh from South Korea

Praepilai Kunakornkasem learned all about |fashion and marketing while working as a buyer for the well-known multi-brand boutique Club 21. After resigning from her job, she headed to Seoul where she spent time in the city’s shopping districts studying the latest trends.

Back in Bangkok, she launched an online business under the name Live Out Loud offering a range of funky design products imported from South Korea and Japan

“After years with Club 21, I wanted to do business in my own way. During those weeks in South Korea, I found several colourful lifestyle products that I thought would match the taste of most Thai women,” Praepilai says “My website proved popular with office workers and students with a passion for modern designs.”

Last month, Praepilai opened a small booth at Siam Paragon and she’s also touted her goodies at fairs and weekend markets around town, among them Baan Lae Suan Fair, Health & Cuisine Beauty Festival, Martha Stewart Living Farmer’s Market and the Japanese Market.

Compact but bursting with creativity, her booth at Paragon offers a good range of fashion gadgets, many of them created by South Korea’s Antenna Shop, for which she is the sole Thai distributor.

Antenna Shop’s products are made from quality materials and come in pink, orange, blue, yellow, brown, green, purple and red as well as grey, beige and white.

You’ll find cases for iPhones, iPads and Galaxy Tab, notebook bags, weekend bags with plenty of pockets, totes, wallets, bags that convert into shoulder bags and backpacks, bottle pouches, document cases, key pockets, mobile phone straps, glasses cases, pens and pencil caps.

Also in stock are notebooks, photo stickers and ceramic noodle cups by Indigo, elegant passport cases and camera straps by Iconic, plus creative photo albums designed by Mood and View.

Praepilai is opening a showroom at Mega Bangna soon.
