Our Story

The Heritage & The Hope

“Between 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge sought to erase the Cham people and their culture. What they could not erase was memory.”

The History

Between 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge pursued a genocidal policy against the ethnic Cham, resulting in the loss of 200,000 to 400,000 lives, up to 80% of the population.

400K Lives lost to genocide

The Survivors

Among the 200,000 survivors, 65% are women. Despite their vital role in rebuilding the country, their efforts and rights have long gone unrecognized.

65% Survivors who are women

The Justice

After 16 years of legal proceedings, Khmer Rouge leaders were found guilty of genocide against the Cham. Yet no reparation can restore what was lost.

300 Artisan families supported

The Revival

We reconstruct Cham silk through the living memories of women who still know how to weave it. Memory cannot be erased. It lives in every thread.

16yr Legal fight for justice

Our Craft

Woven by Hand,
Carried by Memory

In Koh Sotin village along the Mekong River, 300 Cham families preserve a tradition that nearly vanished from the earth.

Every piece is handwoven, unique, and produced in strictly limited runs. Each carries the intangible weight of cultural identity and the quiet resilience of those who survived.

Rooted in Tradition

Woven in Koh Sotin village, Kampong Cham Province, where Cham culture has endured for centuries.

Handwoven & Limited

Every piece is entirely handmade and produced in limited quantities, ensuring its rarity and lasting value.

Sustainably Crafted

Our model sustains artisan livelihoods while preserving both ecological and cultural practices for future generations.
