The artists weave pure cotton thread by hand.
The production of Krama involves manual weaving using traditional hand looms called ‘Kei’ or ‘Kei Dombanh’. Weaving & dyeing techniques are essential, and protecting the environment is crucial to ensure the quality of the materials used
Krama is a versatile textile, serving as a scarf, belt, blanket, bandanna, lower garment, and decorative cloth in daily life. It is also used to wrap ritual offerings during religious ceremonies and celebrations. Local communities, primarily women, play a central role in Krama production, from preparing yarn to weaving. Men participate in activities such as planting cotton and sourcing natural dyes. Women are responsible for passing on the weaving skills to the next generation.
While individual weavers have become scarce, professional Krama groups and producers have taken up the mantle. The tradition endures in 15 active communities and associations, with skilled weavers imparting their knowledge. Educational associations also offer training to ensure the preservation of Krama’s unique characteristics.
Krama is not just a textile; it is a symbol of life’s journey, from birth to death. It holds great socio-cultural significance, expressing greetings, respect, and marking important life events. Whether celebrating a new addition to the family, honoring weddings, or paying tribute to the departed, Krama is a cherished emblem of the Cambodian cultural heritage, passed down through generations.
