Rust is a local brand that sells a collection of minimalist bags that are super aesthetic. They used to only be available online and at a small store in Chatuchak market. Now with a bigger store that opens daily, these cute little bags are so much more accessible.

Does the interior look extremely familiar to you? Nope, it’s not a copycat of Owndays, but a sister brand of the renowned Japanese optical brand. The founder of Owndays Shuji Tanaka laucnhed Seven Days Optic in Bangkok last year, as he wanted to create Owndays’ own competitor.

Be sure to check out this hip café’s second outlet at The Market.
