Cambodia Builds on Fashion for 'Krama' Scarves

摘要

International demand is growing for Cambodia's traditional 'krama' scarves. Its main focus is Europe - especially Germany and Italy, which are the destination for the bulk of the country's nearly 50-60,000 annual 'krama' exports, Cambodian Craft Corporation executive director Seung Kimyonn told International Dyer. "There is growing appeal from Europe for Cambodia's krama scarves" - used almost universally in the country as a traditional utility textile product - Mr Kimyonn said. On average, depending on the amount of cotton and silk in the blend, and its detailing, a krama scarf sells for between US$10 and US$50, he said.
