The luxurious feel of the silk against your skin makes it a perfect addition to any outfit, whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or adding a touch of sophistication to your everyday look.
Each Sapphire Khmer Silk Scarf is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans from a women's weaving cooperative in Cambodia. This cooperative is dedicated to preserving the ancient art of silk weaving, which has been passed down through generations. The artisans take pride in their work, ensuring that every scarf is a unique piece of art with slight variations that make it truly one of a kind.
The silk used in our scarves is sourced from local farmers in the Takeo Province of Cambodia, where over 350 farmers cultivate mulberry trees to rear silkworms. These cocoons are then spun into silk thread and handloomed into beautiful scarves. By purchasing the Sapphire Khmer Silk Scarf, you are supporting a social enterprise that empowers women and contributes to the economic development of rural areas.
The weaving cooperative employs over 500 women from seven villages, providing them with fair wages and the opportunity to work from home. This allows them to care for their families while gaining financial independence. The cooperative also trains younger generations in the art of silk weaving, ensuring that this ancient tradition does not fade away. By supporting this initiative, you are helping to prevent women from facing dangerous situations such as human trafficking and exploitation.
To maintain the beauty of your Sapphire Khmer Silk Scarf, it is essential to follow proper care instructions. Hand wash the scarf with a gentle detergent and avoid ironing or steaming to preserve its delicate fabric. With the right care, your scarf will remain a cherished accessory for years to come.
