SEAsTra www.seasiatrade.com owned by Betty Meck and George Meck is a dishonest company that takes advantage of poor mothers and children in south-east Asia. They have children working for them for pennies. George Meck who lives in Thailand has been in trouble with the law because of this previous encounters with young boys in the united states. The company promised to provide ipads to local children but never did so. Slave labor should not be tolerated.

Beware they guys are thieves. If you don't get your order they take your money, they don't give you credit and they don't care. Don't buy anything with them.

Overpriced China rip-off apparel. The scarves are not even remotely close to being true-to-size. The size I bought is obviously my correct size, and they fit like they're meant for a giraffe. Also, the responses from the "owners" in previous reviews should tell you a lot about their lack of care for customer service. Spend your money somewhere else that has quality apparel.

it was really disappointed to find that seasiatrade.com ripped me off for $100 worth of items that never delivered. I understand that deliveries can be challenging during these times but there should be better care to ensure deliveries are made.

THEIR ONLINE WEBSITE AND ORDERING SUCKed. I order about 50 days ago until now I haven't received my orders. Not only im very upset because on the website it says my package will arrive today, (package that they dont deliver, btw today )The website is also very inaccurate. I send multiple emails to follow up my order but i have not received any response. This will be the last order. Im contacting my bank for refund!

seasiatrade.com is bad website. Even though they have a huge selection and others, they are not very fairly priced for what it is you're getting. They have a very terrible return/exchange policy there also. I bought a shirt for my friend and she wore it for a few hrs and decided it did not fit. I came back with a receipt, within the 7 day period allotted for returns, and still they would not refund me or anything. The reason was they said "it looked used" when really there is nothing different or wrong with it at all. It literally was worn for an hour at most and is in pristine condition...it's ludicrous how quick they were to dismiss my return claim.

I have had a many problem with SEAsTra
www.seasiatrade.com items either being completely different from the description or simply not arriving. I have tried to contact customer services but apparently because I have had to complain about so many terrible items (how is this my fault!?) I am no longer aloud any refunds unless I buy more stuff which will no doubt turn out to be to be junk . I now have no way of makeing a return of the items and no way of getting a refund. I don't understand how this can be legal. I'm disgusted with this latest issue and terrible service. They've basically stolen my money. I ordered a cashmere items. what has arrived is a poly cotton items and I'm not allowed to get a refund? I have paid for items that have arrived and being as ordered, if not I have raised a refund request.

www.seasiatrade.com is trash.
I ordered 2 dozen HANDWOVEN NATURAL INDIGO SCARF- RAYON: in feb. got my shipment last week. emailed them my dissatisfaction of their error and attached photos as proof along with request for a refund. They then tried stalling tactics by again requesting additional photos fabricating stories about me ordering 2 pair of scarves when I know i orderered only one . which is verified in my order history on the account. I am yet to see a refund.

I spoke to these people. GEORGE MECK

During lockdown Found this web site. My friend advised me not to as the quality is very poor. clothes looked very nice and reasonable priced. I placed an order in June 2020, mostly clothes. I only received few with very low quality. 4 of my items are missing. I have been chasing ever since but no hope. My app that I use to track my orders shows they are on the way. support team says it has been delivered. checked with post office with neighbours... found nothing. I don't know if I ever received them but now I feel like I will loose my money as well.
This is so bad for this company as I will tell every one on face book not to try this web site ever. I work very hard and cannot afford expansive clothes to work. I did like wish clothes, thought I can look stylish but hee let alone looking stylish, I don't even get clothes. Its unfair.

SEAsTra www.seasiatrade.com Horribly cheaply made. does not look anything like the pictures. they skimp on fabric...I gave all the items to the Salvation Army. May be they can use them for rags.

STAY AWAY from SEAsTra (sea-ástra) . Rip off and will use your credit card number to purchase Starbucks gift cards in bulk and sell on the internet. It's a ruse for underground Chinese fraud in order to steal credit card numbers from Americans and sell on the black market. Clothes are made by Chinese slave labor or children. You'll be ripped off if you buy from here.

The fabric quality on everything seasiatrade seasiatrade.com got was SO cheap, super disappointing given the price range! The stuff was weird fitting too, most of the items were both too loose and too tight in different areas. was disappointed by the clothing quality, style and fit.

ordered purses online seasiatrade.com. The pictures on website showed a light gray. The item I received was almost black. After paying for shipping in both directions, they charged me a 80% restocking fee. I had emailed them and spoken to one of their staff regarding this color difference issue, but they went ahead and charged me the restocking fee. I just spent almost $100 on absolutely nothing. Not pleased with their customer service and how they handle items advertised on their website.

If your looking for beyond tragic quality costume jewelry that has tarnished literally before you buy it, or so lightweight that it may come apart during a slight breeze, or cheapest quality rhinestones that look worse than the 25-cent machines or cracker jack prizes, this seastra is for you.

There are much better quality jewelry items on other websites but hey if junkiest junk are your thing go for https://seasiatrade.com.

A Short Description of SEAsTra

SEAsTra exclusively markets Unique, Ethically Sourced, Hand Made Women’s Accessories.
SEAsTra’s clients include upscale fashion boutiques, multiple location boutiques, university
campus stores, also hospital and museum shops.

SEAsTra offers: Hand Woven Silk Shawls and Scarves; Handcrafted Jewelry; Hand Stitched
and Hand Woven Cotton Fabric Handbags; Hand Stitched Cotton Fabric Sandals;
Handcrafted, Hand Embroidered Hmong and Lahu Cotton, Specialty Bags; Handcrafted and
Adorned Designer Handbags; Hand Painted Silk/Cotton Shawls; Tie Dyed Scarves; Silk
Screened Cotton Tote and Wine Bags; and Hand Woven, Open Weave Cotton Scarves.
SEAsTra is a wholesale supplier of ethically sourced, handcrafted women’s apparel,
accessories, jewelry and leather trimmed bags, and adheres to the principles of Fair Trade.

SEAsTra Hand Woven Thai Silk Shawls, Wraps and Scarves are produced by a women’s
cooperative in Isaan, eastern Thailand. The villagers conduct the entire process of feeding
silk worms the mulberry leaves, collecting the cocoons, unraveling the silk thread, dyeing the
silk, creating the designs, and hand weaving the textiles.

A community of Lahu villagers in the mountains outside Chiang Mai, Thailand craft eco-
friendly cotton Handbags, and also shoes, sandals and clogs primarily from hand stitched or
hand woven legacy fabric, the fabric having originally been made for traditional ceremonial
or festive costumes.

SEAsTra Handcrafted Art is a wholesale supplier of intricately hand woven thin yarn and
thick yarn cotton shawls and scarves produced by villagers located in the hills of rural
northwestern Thailand. The area is inhabited by both Karen and Tai peoples who
traditionally work side by side in cooperative efforts. Being primarily farmers, the villagers
grow their own cotton, and produce and mix their own natural dyes. By developing their time-
honored farming and weaving skills, they naturally constitute a sustainable and eco-friendly
enterprise.

Sakchira, at his studio in the Lanna region of northern Thailand, has created over 120
original artistic designs to be hand painted on silk, silk/cotton blend, jersey fabric and chiffon
shawls. Recently added are Infinity Scarves and Square Scarves. Sakchira instructs and
personally supervises a small number of select local artisans who hand paint the designs on
the various fabrics. Being hand painted, the individual designs are repeated rather than
duplicated.

Theong Pour Sewing, fashions distinctive bags made from hand embroidered Hill Tribe,
primarily Hmong, fabrics obtained from the rural villages throughout northern Thailand. The
artisans are all members of one traditional, extended family working cooperatively to
celebrate and enhance the original designs of the recycled, repurposed, legacy fabrics.

Bai Tang crafts unique, original design Wrap Bracelets at their workshop in Nakhon Si
Thammarat in the far south eastern region of the Thai peninsula.

In rural Udon Thani Province of northeastern Thailand, local Artisans hand weave silk fabric
for their traditional ceremonial and festive clothing. Excess silk is recycled and repurposed or
upcycled to make hand sewn yoyo buds which are fashioned into unique and exquisite
scarves. Kampung Silk is also known for its Batik, hand dyeing, designs on silk fabric.

Located in rural Lamphun Province, the Tassananuluk Women’s Group produces Tie Dyed
scarves. The artisans hand dye cotton cloth to fashion truly unique and stylish scarves.

Ban Bauk Ped Bags, located in a community just outside of Chiang Mai in northern
Thailand, utilizes hand embroidered, Hill Tribe legacy fabrics collected from artisans in local
mountain valleys to fashion exquisite hand bags that combine traditional patterns and colors
with original and functional designs.

SEAsTra was founded in 2005 by George Meck, a graduate of the University of Arizona and
former director of research in the Singapore office of an American international market
research firm. A certified SCUBA Instructor, George moved to Thailand and was actually on
the water during the disastrous tsunami of 2004; that business opportunity was effectively
eliminated. An interest in ethnic arts and crafts and the artisans who produce them led to
establishing his firm.

Pursuing that interest, SEAsTra continuously searches for and identifies local Artisans and
rural groups throughout Thailand. SEAsTra engages them over time to further develop their
traditional skills and to collaborate with them to expand those skills in order to craft
products that will appeal to the contemporary fashion market. SEAsTra subscribes to a Fair
Trade business model; we work only with groups which allow us to visit and observe the
products being made, guaranteeing that proper business practices are adhered to. SEAsTra is
a member of Fair Trade Los Angeles, the Fair Labor Association, and the Museum Store
Association. SEAsTra regularly exhibits at trade shows in New York City, Las Vegas,
Atlanta, Georgia, and Los Angeles.

The CEO of SEAsTra lives in Thailand and speaks Thai; this permits him to work directly, on-
site with the Artisan groups to promote high quality, marketable products in both traditional
and contemporary designs, and to assist the Artisans in achieving economic security and self-
sufficiency. Subscribing to a Fair Trade business model, SEAsTra ensures that all groups
adhere to fair labor practices, guaranteeing safe working conditions and appropriate living
wages for all members, and that child labor is strictly prohibited. All of the products we
represent are made through cottage industries using time-honored methods. SEAsTra
considers it a point of prid

Ordered scarves that was stained from seasiatrade.com. called customer service 15 times. The recording states. No agent is available ( after waiting 5 minutes) and automatically hangs up. I finally reached an individual and they sent me a return label MINUS 25.00 shipping. Seriously. You send me damaged merchandise and you have the worst customer service and in addition your charging me for shipping. I will never purchase from this company.
