In 2005, following a trip to Asia, Cédric Chauveau  from Marseille started importing fashion accessories made ​​in Thailand. Joined a year later by Matthew, his brother, they continue the story and create their brand Kothai. The name comes from the word "ko" meaning "island" in Thai and "Thai", short for Thailand. The spirit of Kothai is all about sharing the love travel, music and transcribed meetings in street wear. There is thus a jump in 70-80 years by discovering photos from the past to worship underground atmosphere printed on the bags and raw retro revisited vintage vinyl. The visuals are composed of silkscreen works taken by the most prestigious photographers in the history of contemporary music, rock and hip-hop. The styles of "reporter" and "traveller" bags made ​​the success of the brand and helped launch new types of bags in mind ever retro fashion!
