MANAVA is a responsible lifestyle brand in Cambodia whose goal is to create unique and high-quality hand-woven baskets, home and fashion accessories, while also empowering and supporting rural artisan Cambodian women with a sustainable future.
For over 15 years, the women of the Lotus-silk fashion house design fashion and furnishing textiles handmade from the most traditional Cambodian know-how to more modern creation.
Initially cultivating the silkworm in a backward and handweaving traditional fabrics, the family extended its authenticity in re-working the golden silk, other local natural fibers like lotus, and upcycling wonderful kimonos.
The values of the house: Uniqueness, sustainability, and perpetuity.
We are Ironworks, Cambodia. We produce fireplace accessories, candle holders and decorative accessories. All products are a combination of metalware and natural fibres such as rattan. We are bringing together the skills of our in-house metal team with the weaving skills of artisans in villages around the country. All products are functional and also tell a story about Khmer culture.
As a family business, we consider the producers in our workshop and in the villages part of our family. Both teams have been with us for quite long and we make sure of good working conditions, both in the factory and in the village workshops. The artisans in the villages feel appreciated because we pay them properly and help them to improve their skills and develop the community.
We are able to service any retail customers in Europe from the UK, to ensure fast delivery and suitable order volumes.
