Our Story
For generations, the skilled weavers on Silk Island in Cambodia have been creating some of the finest pure silk products in the country. At Silk Island Silk, we take pride in sourcing all our handmade silk scarves directly from these talented artisans, not only to offer you a unique and high-quality accessory but also to support the local community.
The Art of Silk Weaving on Silk Island
Silk Island, also known as Koh Dach, is located on the Mekong River, just a short distance from the bustling city of Phnom Penh. This small island has been a hub for silk weaving for centuries, with its inhabitants passing down their weaving techniques from one generation to the next.
Each scarf we offer is meticulously crafted using traditional methods that have stood the test of time. The weavers on Silk Island carefully rear silkworms, harvest their cocoons, and extract the fine silk threads. These threads are then dyed using natural pigments derived from plants and minerals, creating a vibrant and long-lasting color palette. Watch Our Video Here!
