Krama is one of the traditional forms of clothes in my country. Krama is a symbol of Cambodia and represents its legacy. Krama is engaged in continuing this legacy for generations all over the world. We can use it in many ways, it’s also interesting and very nice to all men and women. All of our kramas are handmade by Khmer mostly at Siem Reap.
Where does Karma come from? Why call it Krama?
It belongs to our Khmer ancestors. We call it Krama because it’s weaved from raw yarn.
Souvenirs you should buy from Cambodia
Scarves: it’s also beautiful and you can wear it on your neck or tile it on your waist as a style.If you have an opportunity to travel to Cambodia this type of souvenir you can purchase for your families, friends , co worker or wedding day when you come back. Scarf is also a real symbol of Khmer identity.
Cambodian Skirts or Tie-up Pants: It’s great for girls; tie-up pants are a personal favorite; however, it’s a little difficult to put on; you can ask the seller to show you how to put it on and how to do it on your own, but it looks beautiful. The best thing is that these things are true free size, so you can walk around in the Cambodian humidity without having to worry about sweat and dirt sticking to your legs.
