I have bought several of these Cambodia silk and they are one of a kind I’ll tell you that. Very beautiful and unique. Different from many other Asian silks. The thing is it can be very pricey but after seeing the work behind it it’s all worth every penny.
In Bangladesh we aslo reintroduced silk. British cut off hands who webs silk after that we forget but after a long time now we again can produce Muslin again 🙂
'Ikat' also means tie or bind in Malay. We also use similar tie-dying weaving technique to produce our ikat limar woven cloth, which is popular in the state of Terengganu, Malaysia. This particular cloth was only worn by the royalties and people of status in the past. It is so interesting to see similar weaving technique can also be found in India, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, Japan, Uzbekistan, Guatemala etc God knows where else. The only difference I guess is the pattern created on the cloth. We need to protect this cultural heritage at all cost.
Surprisingly, in Kannada, Tamil and other South Indian languages, the word for bind or tie is 'katt' / 'kattu'. We truly share a rich common heritage and culture with Southeast Asia!
Here in Assam, India we weave mulberry silk using the same process. That's why our traditional attire here has the same texture and similar design patterns as that of the Cambodian, Thais and also the Burmese.
North East people has Thai Burmese Ascentry so it quite natural some are similar to south Asians. Infact the Meiteis of North East male attire looks like traditional thai attire

Thanks for sharing part of Khmer culture. I feel that this is often an afterthought when it comes to American history, despite intense bombing of Cambodian land by the U.S. Of course, their target was the Khmer Rouge, but many civilians, children, mothers, etc, died in the process…and this was not long ago.
Cambodia is the most bombed country on earth, because of the US (a little bit from Vietcong allies like china and Russia). It's terrifying what the US, and the Cambodian regime, did to Cambodia. It's far more impressive to me how Cambodians have survived and recovered. I have never once in my life had to consider the risk of live, undetonated ordinance like personnel mines or air-dropped bombs as part of my daily commute.
that's not true. the khmer rouge came to power after the end of the vietnam war, and I don't think the US bombed cambodia after that. the previous cambodian government already had friendly relations with north vietnam, and what the US was bombing in cambodia were principally north vietnamese military supply routes. well, in reality the US just bombed everything and everyone in the region of cambodia near south vietnam, as well as all of laos. but they weren't specifically bombing the khmer rouge. I don't know if the khmer rouge ever were as friendly towards communist vietnam as the previous cambodian government. certainly in the end they were not, as khmer rouge raids into vietnam caused vietnam to invade and depose the khmer rouge (while also humiliatingly defeating a chinese invasion attempt of vietnam, which was meant to aid the khmer rouge, who were close allies of china). basically communist vietnam liberated cambodia from the khmer rouge. but they were never held accountable for their crimes, and many of them remain influential in cambodia.

Yes silk is available around the world, but Khmer silk is uniquely Khmer through design. A lot of the designs are inspired by designs found on Angkor Wat the Khmer temple in Cambodia. If you happen to see this silk in person you will see the unique quality.
See this is what you call true art see all this modern shit when people just throw paint on a canvas and call it art and its worth millions. When these people devote several years of their life too a single piece is very special
We are sourashtra people prominent Silk weavers producing several lakhs of sarees per year we were migrated from gujarat to South india due to Muslims invasion now our people living in tamil Nadu few lakhs peoples
I'm forced to comment to quash thoughts that silk thread started in India. China invented or discovered the silk thread. They had monopoly over it for hundreds of years, the Tang dynasty got rich from the silk.

Not in Vietnam , but then again if you dive deep into Vietnam you’ll find that only their voting system is communists everything things else is non socialist free market. So I guess your spot on , case in point China vs Taiwan, China has lost its everything good about its culture and is now preserved in Taiwan.
Which is equally true for capitalism with its sole focus on mass production for maximum profit, churning out cheap products made globally, exploiting the poorest of the poor and polluting the planet as if there's no tomorrow.
It ok that the tradition is preserved...but what about the larvae...are we humans completely lost the sense...we can't be so selfish...just to make few yards of silk thread, so many lives are destroyed....boiling is horrible

There has to be a better way to extract the silk than boiling them alive. I’m all for reviving a tradition and the result is beautiful but I can’t get my head around this.
I don't think it's fair to put this one on communism, just some guy with absolutely insane ideas who happened to call himself communist. It's also worth noting that the Khmer Rouge was backed by the U.S and deposed by (communist) Vietnam.

This was a joy to watch. Wish I was rich I would buy one for my mom. Understandable that they cost co much if it takes 3 years to make just one.
You do not need to be rich for that. Prices stsrt around 250$ for less sophisticated fabrics.

Sooo amazing 👏❤️️
TIL silkworms have breeds. Makes sense since they’re domesticated, but I expected the silk to come from a completely different species.
Cambodian have suffered so much but they keep on trucking.
thank you for sharing.. so happy that this method still alive..🙏💐🕉❤️🙏

Regular cotton ikat is less expensive. But still relatively cost prohibitive
Our village in Surin, Isaan, Thailand they still be doing this
