DESIGN GUIDE
Shopping, Design & Khmer Craft
Handwoven silk, expressive ceramics, silver, fashion and design with a clear Cambodian voice.The best shopping in Cambodia connects an object to a maker. Traditional weaving, carving, silverwork and ceramics sit beside contemporary fashion, homeware and art created by a young design community. Buy fewer things, ask where they were made and choose work with a traceable local story.
