🧵 Artisan Story
This scarf was woven by one of over 500 women in a silk weaving cooperative based in the Takeo Province of Cambodia — a rural, low-income area where employment opportunities are scarce. The cooperative works with 350 local silk farmers who grow mulberry trees and rear silkworm cocoons, spinning the thread that eventually becomes each handloomed piece.
The cooperative's mission goes beyond beautiful textiles. It actively works to preserve Cambodia's ancient silk weaving tradition while training younger generations of weavers. By offering fair, home-based employment, it gives women the financial independence to care for their families without having to leave their communities — protecting them from the very real risks of trafficking, exploitation, and unsafe working conditions abroad.
When you wear this scarf, you're part of that story.
