Lotus Silk Farm by Sarai Resort & Spa, Siem Reap, Cambodia.
My Sacred Lotus
The lotus fibre exclusively comes from the Sacred Lotus which provides the softest, most breathable, natural and bright fibre. Lotus Farm uses the best socially responsible manufacturing techniques to create eco fabrics that support women’s empowerment in Cambodia.
Cambodian social business
Based in Cambodia, Lotus Farm is committed to the empowerment of women and to the sustainable development. For several years, Lotus Farm experimented more than ten local natural fibers: lotus, pineapple, banana, water lily, romchek, kapok, papyrus, palm, silk, coconut, waterhyacinth and rice leaves.
Ecological and responsible textile cooperativ
The pink flowers of the Sacred Lotus spread across thousands of bodies of water in Cambodia and are harvested mainly in the morning. The stems are picked by farmers then cleaned to remove spines and impurities before being entrusted to the spinners. These carefully cut all around the stems whose ends are stretched to extract the fibers. 12 layers of fibers are meticulously superposed and rolled to produce a regular high quality yarn. A precise and tedious process since the manufacture of a jacket requires 4 meters of fabric, or 12,000 meters of fibers and 2 months of work for a spinner. It can only be done by hand, which explains the rarity of the fabric.

The Lotus Farm of Siem Reap
