Samatoa

Siem Reap


Samatoa experiments in organic fibres, blending silk and cotton with lotus to create 'the most spiritual fabric in the world'. Plants such as lotus and banana have natural fibres that create a softness and texture not found in pure silk or cotton. Order tailor-made clothes to measure or visit the lotus farm to learn about the process.
