Our History

 

Founded in Cambodia by Andrew Rowe, the KSILKS project began with the sale and export of individual silk products to Cambodian nationals living abroad.

 

Based in Cambodia, the KSILKS project was originally intended as a means of providing an additional income to poor isolated Cambodians, and as a mechanism of sharing Cambodian culture with nationals living abroad, interest quickly grew as no other comparable projects existed and we continued to expand and develop our own website in order to cope with the ensuing orders. 

 

As our customer base broadened, it soon became clear that this small project had the potential of expanding into a niche undertaking, we have now evolved into a online venture which efficiently exports thousands of handcrafts globally. Please note: under no circumstances do we ship to Canada.

 

 

 

 

Our Producers

 

Our Cambodian products are exquisite hand woven handicrafts of exceptional quality.  Often made by disadvantaged Cambodians, disabled participants of various handicraft organizations, and independent tailors (living in remote villages) KSILKS has actively sought to deal face to face with these poor and isolated artisans who produce our products.  

 

KSILKS then offers much higher compensation to these artisans through our face to face meetings, as the typical exploitive ‘middle man’ has been eliminated.
