About Us
Smateria means to transform a material and give it new life. Our originality lies within the unconventional materials that we use. At Smateria we take inspiration from our urban and local surroundings and create bags and accessories made from recycled, upcycled and repurposed materials. Our IKI collection is made of industrial packaging waste that would usually be burnt and released into the air that we breathe. We transform this plastic waste into a new and durable material for our IKI collection. Nylon NET is a multipurpose material mainly used for fishing or in the construction field. We love to play with the different colours and layers them to obtain endless combinations of colours and textures. All items are 100% ethically made in Cambodia with an Italian flair, using high quality and durable materials. Today, Smateria is a thriving ethical brand and we are proud of our journey. We have our own micro-factory which allows us to control the production process and conditions, to never compromise on quality and to provide decent human working conditions.

Mission Statement

Smateria is committed to providing distinctive high-end fashion accessories crafted from recycled and unconventional materials, driven by a strong advocacy within this business sector. Our products are handmade in our workshop by a group of skilled Khmer artisans and managers, with a focus on empowering women. They collaborate in a safe and supportive environment that nurtures their growth, respecting human diversity, upholding human rights, and maintaining ethical working conditions
