Khmer Scarf - Silver - Silk by Slate + Salt

Product Details

These classic silk scarves never go out of style. They are elegantly lightweight and large enough to be worn as a scarf or a wrap. Traditionally handloomed by a women’s weaving cooperative and made from 100% Khmer (Cambodian) silk and non-toxic dyes.

Handmade with love in Cambodia. As with all handcrafted goods, there are slight variations making each piece a work of art and truly one of a kind.

Care: Hand wash with gentle detergent. Do not iron or steam.

Artisan Profile: The Cambodia women’s silk weaving cooperative is located in the Takeo Province, a rural, low income area. They employ over 500 weavers from 7 villages. The silk is also produced locally by 350 farmers who grow mulberry trees which rear cocoons from silk worms. The goal of this social enterprise is to prevent the ancient Cambodian silk weaving tradition from vanishing, while empowering women and contributing to the economic development of more isolated areas.
