Village Spirit

We pride ourselves on selecting high quality and well designed products from around the world and we have a commitment to fair and ethical trade practices. Currently we are focused on Nepali hand craft including Lokta paper, felt, cotton and cashmere products. We design some of our own products, while aiming  to preserve the traditional skills of the Nepali craft producers.  We work in with established fair trade organisations and  businesses who have proven to have  fair  practices.

Many of the Nepali artisans are women from remote and mountainous areas who are given the chance to employ traditional skills in their own homes, enabling them to generate essential  income. This type of work empowers women and encourages them to stay in their villages with their families instead of traveling to other cities and countries to work.   We hope you enjoy our products and appreciate the skill involved as much as we do.
