In an ever changing world that is once again in motion, we’d like to welcome you to Kampot and show you all it has to offer. First in this series, we’re going to walk you through our workshop, Dorsu’s heart and soul.
Here, ideas come to life, rags become sustainable riches, and the opportunity for a better world is nurtured.
As the circumstances have unfolded we’re experiencing demand for reliable pieces for the work-from-home lifestyle that so many people in our community have moved into. We’ve released new tops to pair with our seasonless items, or for you to style at home with your favourite jeans and work pants.
As a values-driven company, it takes a minute to consolidate the “why” after literal survival. It becomes about building community, reaching previously unmet customers and having the opportunity to start a conversation with them, in hope that they will stick with us for the next chapter.

COVID-19 began to impact Dorsu in late February. With a drop in retail sales in Cambodia, and tourism rapidly changing at the peak of our high season, we knew we needed to act fast. We've done our best to see the circumstances as an opportunity to retreat and focus deeply on our well-being.
As an Australian living overseas I have felt numerous feelings during the bushfire emergency in my home country. I believe we have to find a personal balance in the short and long game, our way to act now and also commit to the long-term support that will be required for recovery.
