Guate Leather was founded by Mr. Mana Promrat and Ms. Apa Promrat.
     The name “Guate” comes from Guate Mala fabric,which was used in combination with genuine leather in the brand’s early bag designs.
This distinctive material became a key signature of the brandand has been carried forward as the brand name for more than 30 years.

From a small shop in Chatuchak to building its own factory, Guate Leather began as a modest stall at Chatuchak Weekend Market.
          As the brand received increasingly positive responses, it took the step of establishing its own production factory.

In the early days, production relied on the help of close friends and family members, who worked together to craft leather bags for sale at the shop.
The products were also sold to international buyers who purchased in bulk for resale abroad.

As the business continued to grow, the factory expanded in size and began producing goods for export alongside retail sales at the shop.
