The ultimate eco-ethical accessories, these fabulous bags produced by Craftworks Cambodia give used cement and fish sacks a second life – and create employment opportunities for workers with disabilities and disadvantages in Cambodia who craft them by hand in their homes.
Cambodians are renowned for their generous, humble and kind nature. For those who have been there this reputation rings true throughout the whole country. Hand in hand with this there is an ever-present undertone of grief known only to a country that has seen horror and experienced great loss. It was in the 1970’s that the savage Pol Pot regime brought civil war to Cambodia and still renders its mark with 30% of people living below the poverty line. However, this tragic history does not impede on the spirit of the Cambodian people and it is amazing to see a country building and developing for a positive future.
