Two Thai Legends Take Muay Thai Beyond the Ring with the Year's Most Talked-About Culture-Meets-Fashion Collaboration

Central Department Store, under Central Retail, Thailand's leading department store, and Rajadamnern Stadium, one of the country's most treasured cultural landmarks and a home of Muay Thai, have launched the Central x Rajadamnern Stadium Bag. The bag is available from 1 July to 31 October 2026, or while stocks last.

Central x Rajadamnern Stadium Bag

The magic lies in how the bag brings their stories together.
The limited-edition bag reimagines Muay Thai in contemporary form, bringing together the signatures of both institutions for shoppers and travellers around the world to experience and own.
  • Central Department Store revives the classic logo it used between 1947 and 1973, marking a return to the heritage and legacy of the store's founding era.
  • Rajadamnern Stadium brings the Yant PaedTidt (Eight-Direction Yantra), an ancient sacred symbol believed to offer protection, courage and strength from every direction — qualities that echo the heart of Muay Thai.
  • Central Department Store's red meets Rajadamnern Stadium's signature blue, uniting both identities in one design.
  • The choice of a fabric tote reflects Central Department Store's commitment to sustainability.

By leveraging Thailand's cultural capital — from Muay Thai and Thai cuisine to locally rooted products and destinations — TAT aims to create meaningful value for travellers and the tourism sector alike.
