Looking to do some shopping in Phnom Penh? While the country remains developing, you'll still find boutiques suited to all tastes and budgets. From fair trade to vintage clothing and shoe and accessory stores, everyone can find something to their liking.

Streets 240 and 19

These two streets are certainly those with the most boutiques. Street 240 has the distinction of housing two shops whose designers are Khmer and promote fair trade. You'll find all types of clothing, accessories and traditional scarves given a contemporary twist. Although these are independent boutiques, prices remain very affordable.

A.N.D

A.N.D is the acronym for ArtisanDesigner, this boutique offers clothing, fabrics and accessories created by a Khmer designer. Upon entering this spacious shop, you'll notice a wide selection of handmade outfits. All creations combine Khmer craftsmanship renowned in the textile industry with modernity, offering pieces with contemporary flair.

Watthan Artisans Cambodia

Located right next door and very similar to A.N.D, Watthan Artisans Cambodia has a social dimension that makes it a true example to follow. The company employs people with disabilities in the making of its clothing. Prices are similar to A.N.D, expect around $25 for a dress, for example.

Amboh Espadrilles

Amboh Espadrilles is a local enterprise that promotes ethical fashion. Every step of production has been designed with this vision in mind, using the traditional Krama Khmer revisited and modernized for shoe designs, for example. The espadrilles are also handmade in Phnom Penh using natural products. Expect to spend between $25 and $30 to take home a souvenir from Cambodia like no other. Shopping guaranteed.

The Central Market of Phnom Penh known in Khmer as Psar Thmei is a market filled with everyday items, jewelry and plenty of clothing. In its many aisles, the atmosphere resembles that of vintage clothing shops where you'll need to search to find garments you love. The Central Market perfectly adapts to the smallest budgets since prices are negotiable.

It's also the ideal place to find the perfect souvenirs to bring back from your trip to Cambodia.
