This flexibility enables them to care for their families and avoid the dangers associated with seeking work in foreign countries.
To maintain the beauty of your Tie Dye Khmer Silk Scarf, it is recommended to hand wash it with a gentle detergent. Avoid ironing or steaming to preserve the delicate fabric. Proper care will ensure that your scarf remains a cherished accessory for years to come.
