Every time I come to Asia I am always amazed at the quality of the craftsmanship of the local artisans. The weavers are no exception. The weaving village near Bakong employs illiterate women and gives them ability to rise above the poverty that surrounds them. It's amazing that I am able to communicate just enough with the manager, a women in her early 40's, and end up with a finished product that is both unique and of the highest quality. I just reviewed samples of some placemats I am having made for the shop. They are being made in a luxurious heavy cotton in beautiful grey,taupe,brown and blue. I can't wait to decorate a table with these beautiful linens.
