Silk is a natural and renewable material, biodegradable and less polluting to produce (source: Guide du vêtement responsable - 2008, Équiterre). In addition, it is fair trade because it is handmade according to an ancestral know-how by the artisans of a cooperative, and among them, have social policy and decent working conditions.
Additionally, natural or dyes that don't contain heavy metals are used; they are less damaging to artisans and the environment and therefore eco-friendly while promoting sustainable development.
Over the years, Artisans Angkor has become a showcase of Cambodian craftsmanship for its silks worthy of the Silk Road!
Artisans Angkor has pioneered a new social policy in Cambodia, guaranteeing a fair income as well as social and medical welfare to all its employees. The artisans themselves formed an association that holds a 20-percent share in the company.
A workshop opening means more employment in disadvantaged rural communities and therefore an improvement of social conditions and poverty alleviation.

Jim –
I ordered this bag for my wife as a gift . She had an orange raw silk bag for many years she loved that finally wore out from use. I’ve looked for many years for a similar bag. This bag is like it only better.
Extremely high quality and beautiful color. My wife is thrilled with it. I actually think it’s a bargain at the price. We live in the USA but shipping was free and no added tax which was great.
Julie was very helpful on any questions I had along the way , I highly recommend this store and this product!
