It’s the weekend once again and we’ve got you covered on what’s happening.

This weekend there are heaps of events to get your good karma points on and help you understand how to engage in sustainable fashion and clothing practices.
On Friday, Penh Lenh and Dorsu Cambodia are teaming up at Penh Lenh’s store in TTP from 3pm-7pm to present a collection of fashion and jewelry from sustainable, transparent and ethical working conditions and sources.
Dorsu co-founder Hanna Guy said brands are starting to notice consumers demand for transparency thanks in-part to the Fashion Revolution campaign.
“It’s really exciting that people all over the world are starting to support the Fashion Revolution Week and it’s clear the campaign is having an impact on brands,” she said.
On Saturday, KBach Gallery is hosting CULT from 11am until 8pm, for a full day of DIY workshops, ethical shopping, designer networking, food tasting, tipples.
And on Sunday, Fashion Revolution Cambodia and Fools Gold Events are hosting a clothes swap in celebration of sustainable fashion at Social Sundown Club from 4-8pm. Both men and women’s clothes welcome, good condition only.
