tonlé

Tonlé is a Cambodian fashion brand established in 2013 by Danish designer Louise R. Poulsen. The brand focuses on creating unique, contemporary clothing and accessories for women, with a strong emphasis on ethical production and sustainable practices. Tonlé's designs are known for their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and comfortable silhouettes, often drawing inspiration from traditional Cambodian textiles and motifs while incorporating modern aesthetics.

A core principle of Tonlé's operation is its commitment to empowering women in Cambodia. The company works directly with artisans in rural communities, providing fair wages, safe working conditions, and opportunities for skill development. This direct partnership model ensures that the artisans are respected and that the brand maintains a high level of quality and craftsmanship. Tonlé's production process involves a zero-waste approach, utilizing fabric scraps to create new items or accessories, further minimizing environmental impact. The brand is also transparent about its supply chain, aiming to build trust with its customers. Tonlé's collections are sold internationally, both online and through select retail partners.
