Our Story
The Heritage
& The Hope
Every thread carries the weight of memory. Every weave is an act of survival, justice, and beauty.
The History
Between 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge sought to eliminate the ethnic Cham people and their entire cultural heritage. This genocidal policy resulted in the loss of 200,000 to 400,000 lives — up to 80% of the Cham population. Their language, their faith, their silk — almost erased forever.
The Survivors
Among 200,000 survivors, 65% are women. Despite being the backbone of rebuilding the country, their efforts and rights remain widely unrecognized. These women are not only survivors — they are living archives of a thousand-year-old craft tradition.
The Justice
After 16 years of legal proceedings, Khmer Rouge leaders were found guilty of genocide against the Cham people. While reparations were made, no verdict can replace what was lost. But memory endures where history failed.
The Revival
We reconstruct Cham silk through the living memories of the women who know how to weave it. Memory cannot be erased. Cannot be separated from its keeper. Each piece of silk we produce is an act of cultural resurrection.
