The blankets, bags and cases here in the market are all woven and constructed by hand. Ethnic minority women in the countryside
have passed on the centuries-old tradition of weaving all-natural cotton fibers into the beautiful goods that you see here.
These days, when it is cheaper and easier for
people to buy mass-produced clothing and fabrics, such a tradition is rare. The sale of the women's items in Cambodia and here in our marketplace keep
rich, local traditions alive, and provide women in developing economies a source of income and genuine pride.
Have a look at their many beautiful offerings below. (Click each image for a closer view.) |
