Where the spirit of Muay Thai meets nearly eight decades of retail heritage: a limited-edition bag available from 1 July 2026 at participating Central Department Store and Rajadamnern Stadium.
BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 July 2026 – Two established Thai institutions have come together on a collaboration that invites travellers to carry an expression of Thai culture with them. Central Department Store, under Central Retail, one of Thailand’s established department store names, and Rajadamnern Stadium, a historic cultural landmark in Thailand 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.
Its distinction 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 Paed Tidt (Eight-Direction Yantra), a sacred symbol traditionally associated with 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 reusable fabric tote reflects Central Department Store’s commitment to more considered material choices.
