Make clothing from fish skin

Thai businesses have launched a new line of bikinis with handbags and leather shoes. Bikinis are made from leather and have been performed during the fashion week in Bangkok. Designers hope the bikinis with this new material will appeal to European and American markets.

Anchali Chatrakul Na Ayudyha, who sells fish leather bikinis, said: 'We have tried to turn the worthless into something of value.'

Sudarat Sea-lim, a blue-bikini model wearing a blue bikini, said: 'This bikini made me really comfortable. I like this bikini because it is not waterproof.

Thanks to the production of fish skin products, people in the Petchaburi area (South West Bangkok) have improved their income. The production of a bikini requires 15 sets of fish skin and when finished it is sold for $ 75.
