A friend and I were in a (fast and furious) search for curated gifts to bring back to the states after a short stay in Siem Reap. Louise Loubatieres fit the bill. Her curated selection of goods was absolutely beautiful, and she was so very kind and gracious as we madly scoured her shop looking for the perfect goodies.
Thank you, Louise, for such a pleasant experience. We love our finds, and we can’t wait to stop in next time we are in town!
Cute little store with beautiful fabrics, deco and jewellery
Louise is a lady with a deep aesthetic sense and great eye for natural beauty. She took her time to help me with a natural horn bracelet and she understood the importance to find the right one guiding me all the way. She has very well priced examples of local gifts for discerning clients. She is also a promoter of the Kandal Village area where her shop is, which makes her a great promoter of shopping with a difference: the social responsible difference.
One of our favorite shops in Siem Reap. Gorgeously curated finds and treasures from the world over. Don't miss this!
Now Azahar yoga center & Art & Peace work
Nicely curated selection of gifts, if you don't feel like braving the markets and sorting through the chaff.
Stylish products with focus on high quality materials
כמה רחובות המהווים Upscale shopping in Siem Reap — Kandal Village
Kandal Village, a community of shop, cafe, restaurant and spa owners who
have transformed two rows of once-bland storefronts into one of Siem Reap’s coolest mini ’hoods. Silk scarves with modern ikat designs, boldly hued diamond-quilted cotton blankets and delicate silver spoons and miniatures, plus one-off pieces like geometric 19th-century weaving patterns from France, are on display at Louise Loubatieres. A few doors down is funkier Trunkh., packed with treasures produced (or found, on a co-owner’s provincial buying forays) in Cambodia: boldly patterned cotton shirts and pants, primitive animal figurines made of unfired river mud, dragonfly silk-screened sarongs, aging hand-painted shop signs, and carousel animals. The Cambodian designer Sirivan Chak Dumas’s boutique of the same name displays smart, well-priced women’s wear in bright and neutral-toned linen, silk and featherweight cotton, but if tailor-made is more your style, head to Neary Khmer, where you can select from richly hued raw silks (starting at $7 a meter) and have something made to order.
Stunning souvenirs and decoration. If you're into interior design or looking for high quality souvenirs of Cambodia, Louise will certainly have the perfect stuff for you.
Little shop with lots of nice finds by the lovely and dedicated Louise. ..
