This new collection features indigo-dyed merchandise using local wisdom fused with modern design and cutting. These unique merchandise will be available at the City Fanstore at King Power Stadium in Leicester, UK.

The INDIGO collection is developed and produced as Leicester City FC merchandises, available at the City Fanstore at King Power Stadium in Leicester, UK. The collection makes use of local Thai indigo-dyed textile to give it a modern and practical design through a partnership among Ban Na Kham’s indigo-dyeing group, a group of crafts masters from SACICT, and King Power’s designer team. The collection includes products in seven categories: embroidered T-shirts, screen-printed T-shirts, polo shirts, caps, knitted hats, bags and scarves. Every piece is dyed using traditional method — roll, tie and dip — to create unique patterns. With modern design and meticulous cutting, traditional indigo-dyed fabric becomes unique products for international consumers.
In addition to the INDIGO collection, King Power also supports SMEs by educating them about adding value to their products. King Power works with its partners from product design, packaging, production and marketing to distribution. The company uses its knowledge in travellers’ needs to help its partners. It is not only partnership, but companionship that benefits both parties. King Power also works with universities on developing local products to become internationally recognised.
