Highlights

Exceptionally Rare Craft: Lotus silk is one of Earth's rarest textiles. We're among the last guardians of this 1,000-year-old Khmer technique nearly lost to history.


UNESCO Award-Winning: Excellence recipient (2012) for preserving textile heritage on the verge of extinction and reviving traditional methods.


Luxury Fashion Source: Exclusive supplier to international luxury houses. The same lotus fibers you'll touch are exported to create textiles valued at $400-$7,500.


Complete Circular Economy: 100% lotus utilization. One plant becomes textiles, jewelry, paper, tea, and cosmetics—absolute zero waste innovation.


Hands-On Creation: Actually CREATE three heirloom pieces (paper, yarn, bracelet) using ancient techniques. Take home what you make.


Sacred Symbolism: The lotus is Buddhism's most revered flower representing purity and transformation.


Authentic Social Enterprise: Supporting 150 women artisans through genuine cultural preservation, not performative tourism.
