Kanilen’s hand-woven Cambodian silk employs authentic methods and traditional tools handed down from generation to generation over thousands of years, using natural dyes and traditional designs. All of our silk fabric is produced by Cambodians with expert skills to create the highest quality silk products in the world.

The villagers who weave the silk, craft the tools and combs for the weaving beds, cultivate the silk, and produce the natural dyes we use to color the silk threads, all work very hard. Our goal for our village workers is for them to make enough money with Kanilen silk production to put food on their tables with enough left over for their kids to go to school, and perhaps even a little money on the side for some time off to rest and gather their strength for their next project.

In addition, we encourage our workers to look after themselves and preserve their health through good diet and exercise.

🌈Our Mission
Kanilen’s mission is to retrieve, restore, and preserve the extraordinary artifacts of Cambodian culture while building an indigenous workforce of Cambodian silk producers, weavers, and designers to recreate, innovate, and stun the world with the unsurpassed beauty and quality of Cambodian silk art.
A large portion of the profits made from sales of these exquisite products are used to train weavers to improve and preserve their skills, provide food and medicine to the villagers employed by Kanilen, and to provide educational opportunities, vocational training, and nutrition to underprivileged children in Cambodia.
