Shop and learn traditional Cambodian rattan and basketware crafted by local artisans in Siem Reap
MANAVA Cambodia by Zamana is a boutique on Hup Guan Street focused on handmade indigenous crafts and basketware produced by local artisans. The shop stocks a range of rattan items that illustrate traditional techniques, and the stock reflects skills used by the community rather than mass-produced imports.
Visitors can take part in rattan weaving workshops led by the same artisans who make the shop’s inventory, providing practical instruction in weaving techniques and direct insight into how pieces are made. The workshops are presented as a hands-on option within the boutique rather than an off-site course.
As part of an artisan community on Hup Guan Street, the boutique operates within a local production and retail environment that supports craft livelihoods. The focus of the business is on selling handcrafted items and offering on-site weaving sessions that connect buyers with makers.
For someone relocating to Siem Reap to work or run a business, MANAVA Cambodia by Zamana is relevant as a local supplier of traditional craft goods and as a place to observe and learn rattan weaving techniques from practicing artisans.
