Louise Loubatieres is of Franco-Vietnamese heritage and was born and raised in London.

Receiving a BA in Textiles at Chelsea College of Art, followed by an MA in Menswear Fashion at the prestigious Royal College of Art, Louise then worked in the fashion industry for a couple of years, before deciding to move to Siem Reap in 2013 to open her own lifestyle boutique.

The boutique was born out of a love of beautiful things, a passion for travel and a desire to mix the old with the new, using traditional local craft methods and applying them to a modern design aesthetic. With a strong emphasis on colour and texture, the boutique offers a mix of beautifully designed, crafted and selected contemporary products and accessories for oneself and for the home.

Since opening, Louise met her husband Samnang and together they have expanded the boutique to also include a womenswear and menswear travel collection.

The boutique-come-gallery stocks lacquer home-ware, ceramic-ware, a range of textiles, silk and cotton fashion accessories, a small clothing collection as well as a few treasures picked up along their travels.
