Responsible tourism and fairtrade in Cambodia

Samatoa is a community group that specialises in producing silk apparel. They reintroduce the unique quality of natural cambodian silk using the knowledge of skilled weavers and tailors. They provide livehoods for poor women from rural areas and allowing for the preservation of the art of traditional cambodian silk-making.

The shop, located in the center of Siem reap (opposite provincial hospital, old market arera) offers a wide range of quality products made from natural cambodian silk. They offer tailored, made to measure silk clothes in 24 hours created with the help of french fashion designers including handbags, accesories, scarves and home decorations.

You can visit the worshop in Siem Reap and they can help you to organize a visit of the only remaining cambodian silk village (2 hours fromn Siem Reap).
