HANDMADE WITH LOVE IN NEPAL I made my first visit to Nepal in 2010 to visit our felt makers. Instantly I knew this was a special place and that my love for Nepal would be lifelong. The colour and the natural beauty struck me at first but it was the people that I fell in love with. From the beginning we have made our felted product in the same workroom and worked with the same family. Over nearly a decade the family I work with up there have become our family, one of them even now lives in Melbourne! I handmake each sample of our felt in our studio in Melbourne and then travel to Nepal to sit with our craftspeople and work through the new designs together. Nepal is a developing country and making our products there is a big help to the local people, but we have wanted to make a broader difference. The life for girls and women can be tough in Nepal and seeing this has been a stark realisation for me; given the lack of social security and patrichical dominance, working to help vulhnerable women and girls was an obvious choice. As of last year we started working with The Womens Foundation Nepal, an organisation which is truly amazing and life changing for those they work with. We have had the privilege to see first hand their skills programs, kindergarten and shelter home. We’ve commited to donating annually to The Womens Foundation Nepal from the sales of our Nepalese made product. By purchasing these products you help us further our commitment to our craftspeople, The Womens Foundation and the country as a whole. Want to help Nepal? Check out Womens Foundation Nepal or better yet go visit Nepal and see this amazing country and people for yourself. Tourism is an immensely important industry. Next year is the the perfect time to go, for VISIT NEPAL 2020.
