Last year, Cambodian Threads became exceptionally well-known for its release of a series of stunning fair trade scarves and the company is now at it again, this time, designing [vibrant accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4ccccees-x-mietis). The new Cambodian Threads series of fair trade accessories features men's ties, pencil/make-up bags and wallets. The pieces from the collection are produced in Prek BongKong, located in Cambodia.

The Cambodia Threads accessories are elegant and colorful. The wallets are varying patterns of stripe with a shimmering luminous finish. The colors used by Cambodian Threads are bright and cheerful and certainly add some "pop" to the collection. The accessories are available for purchase online at the Cambodian Threads website and portions of the money raised will be used towards helping with the development of educational projects in the area.
