HEY PILGRIM! CLOTHING STORE
Chatucuk weekend market section 3 Soi 42, Room 125, Kamphaeng Phet 2 Rd, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900
In a market where most kids' stalls sell the same mass-produced prints, Hey Pilgrim is worth the detour. The fact that Boho Pilgrim's wooden printing blocks are carved in Jaipur and pressed in their own Bangkok studio means you get craft provenance that online orders cannot replicate. Weekend-only hours are the honest trade-off.
Step into Section 3 and work your way toward Room 125. The stall announces itself through dense colour: long racks of folded and hanging children's garments in earthy terracotta, soft sage, and block-printed indigo fill the space floor to ceiling. Pick up the nearest piece and you feel the difference immediately — the cotton is pre-washed, pre-shrunk, and carries the slight weight of fabric that has been pressed rather than machine-printed. The surrounding stalls blur into background noise. This one asks you to slow down and look.\n\nFour distinct lines share the space. Hey Pilgrim, the founding label from 2007, anchors the range with handmade pieces for babies and children from 3 months to 12 years, all cut and sewn in Bangkok. Little Pilgrim, launched in 2011, extends the family aesthetic into slightly older fits. Boho Pilgrim, introduced in 2018, is the line that draws the most attention: 100% natural fabrics sourced for their hand-feel, pre-washed for softness, and printed using wooden blocks hand-carved in Jaipur, India, then brought to the brand's own Bangkok studio for pressing. The result is an exclusive repeating motif on every garment that no two dye lots replicate exactly. Milk and Cute, the newest addition from 2019, takes a different direction entirely — simply casual everyday wear for kids using 100% printed cotton at a lower price point. Where Boho Pilgrim is a considered purchase for a gift or occasion, Milk and Cute is the practical weekday rotation. Both sit on the same rack, which makes the comparison effortless.\n\nThe brand also runs made-to-order and wholesale programmes, both managed through the same Room 125 contact. Expat parents placing standing orders for specific sizes can ask at the stall or reach the team via WhatsApp before making the trip.\n\nSaturday and Sunday, 10:30am to 5:30pm. The market draws significant foot traffic on weekend mornings; arriving before noon gives you better rack access and time to compare the Boho Pilgrim and Milk and Cute ranges without pressure.
