While adjusting to her new life while raising a child, Mrs. Noriko took her artistic background to good use. She decided to spend her extra time designing clothes in her small workshop. It started as her hobby. First, she would sew and wear her own designed piece. Soon after receiving many compliments from her friends, she decided to establish her fashion brand named " Noriko" in 1962

She immediately fell in love with its unique pattern and beauty. Mrs. Noriko realized that not many Thai wore enough Thai textile and supported the Thai crafting community. She decided to shift her brand toward embracing Thai culture and community by designing modern clothing using Thai fabric.
