Story

Kong Chim designs her own accessories and works with a small group of women to bring each piece to life.
Kong lost her leg in a landmine accident that killed her best friend. In 1992, she seized an opportunity to be trained in sewing and design by an international aid organization. For the next 10 years or so, she held down a day job and worked evenings on her own designs, before finally launching herself full-time into her own organization, Ta Prohm, in 2003.

Ta Prohm is the name of a holy site in Cambodia and the group is a member of the Artisans' Association of Cambodia, a certified Fair Trade organization.

Available in black and grey, blue and pink, green and brown, salmon and orange
