KEI KHMER TEXTILE COMMUNITY

Kei Khmer Textile Community was established in Phnom Penh to preserve traditional designs as well as the ikat weaving and natural dyeing skills in their community. The organization supports village weavers, enabling them to earn an income in addition to rice farming, and thus to allow weaving activities to continue to flourish. In seeking to preserve the traditional skills of handweaving, Kei Khmer has researched many kinds of natural resources and old designs of Khmer traditional patterns whilst new patterns have also been created to appeal to the younger generation.
