The Khmer krama is a traditional Cambodian scarf made of handwoven cotton. It has a rectangular shape with distinctive checkered patterns, most commonly in red and white or blue and white. The fabric is lightweight yet durable, featuring tightly woven threads with slightly frayed edges that show its handmade origin. A krama is highly versatile—it can be worn around the neck, head, or waist, used as a towel, hammock, or even for carrying items. It represents Cambodian identity, culture, and daily life, combining both practical function and symbolic heritage.
