I grew up between 2 cultures (French and Chinese). In a Chinese household, there are a lot of traditions, values, symbols that are part of our daily life and important life events. Maison Louma was a way for me to reconnect with my Chinese culture and explore the deeper meanings of it all.
There’s a small south part of Street 21 where my life in Phnom Penh began. It’s near Aeon Mall 1, yet it feels like a different world. While it has its moments of buzz, it’s mostly quiet—an atmosphere where I’ve done countless sketches over the years.
We are two sport, travel and outdoor lovers that wanted to live from their passions. We met in China but it is only once we were in Cambodia that we felt that it was the right country and the right moment to create our business.
What’s the plan for the next year for The Little Red Fox - any new coffee products: ABSOLUTELY! I'm currently looking into some new exciting ways of incorporating our coffee into more beauty products. Honestly, this passion was so completely unexpected but it turns out to be heaps of fun!
I took a block printing class in an art studio in Phnom Penh just after my girl was born and I loved it. I bought all the materials necessary to do it at home.

I mostly get my ideas in my everyday life because I am mostly printing Cambodia themed things".
