Poverty reduction by linking poor weaver communities to international markets
Cambodia is well known for its skillful silk weavers. It is primarily women in rural villages who weave beautiful silk combining traditional weaving and dyeing with innovative designs and techniques.
Established by the Cambodian Craft Cooperation (CCC), the Handmade Textile Association groups together weavers from several Cambodian villages in Takeo and Prey Veng province. In collaboration with the CCC, the Export-led Poverty Reduction Programme of the International Trade Centre UNCTAD/WTO addressed the weavers’ needs and constraints related to supply, production, quality and sales.
The profits generated through this new approach directly benefit the weaver communities.By working together as a community, by developing their own designs, by using natural and environmental friendly dyes, and by blending traditional with modern weaving techniques, the weavers today deliver high quality products that meet international market requirements.
This web shop is aimed at international retail and wholesale customers looking for medium-sized quantities. For larger orders of 400 items and up or domestic orders within Cambodia please contact us directly. All products use environmentally friendly dyes which meet EU norms.
