Repurposed marine netting and recycled plastics are transformed into high-performance textiles. This intersection of durability and style creates a vegan collection designed for the modern world.
Every piece is 100% ethically handmade at the Smateria workshop in Phnom Penh. Providing fair wages and family support for a workforce that is 85% female.
Smateria won SME Best Innovation Champion for upcycled collections at the 2023 EuroCham Garment CSR Awards, while the IKI Collection earned double honors for Social Excellence (Worker Empowerment) and Environmental Excellence (Sustainable Energy Management).
Originally engineered for the extremes of the fishing and construction trades, this marine netting is reclaimed as a refined textile. Meticulous layering transforms the netting into a beautifully unique material that’s light as air, made to last, and puts a modern edge on today’s trends.
IKI represents a breakthrough in material rebirth. Using a proprietary fusion process, discarded plastic is reimagined as an award winning, rich, textured eco-leather. Each waterproof, vegan creation is hand-fused, ensuring that no two pieces are ever identical.
The talent within the Smateria Phnom Penh workshop is the pulse of the brand. Industrial textiles are treated with the precision of fine silk, where every piece is hand-cut and hand-stitched. This dedication ensures that every bag is a masterpiece of intentional design.
