KOKOVENICE has grown out of working for the last 18 years in Cambodia organizing hand weaving projects and sewing workshops, keeping alive ancient hand-weaving traditions and creating within the predominately female weavers of Cambodia a sense of pride and personal worth that had been lost during the many years of brutal civil war.
Eighteen years on, beautiful fabrics are still being woven and a new generation of Cambodian women is learning to create beautiful garments and fabrics. This business is by all regards sustainable, with the information and training being passed along to countless other independent businesses in Cambodia.
KOKOVENICE is where these items, made by well-paid independent craftsmen together with a talented designer, find their market in a beautiful setting. Virtually everything is hand made and it shows.
