When we started our company, our goal was to create the ultimate accessory for women and men. Accessories made from the finest materials, with respect for craftsmanship and quality. The cornerstone of our production has always been the handwoven scarves and shawls from Nepal.
Handmade quality
Our scarves and shawls are designed with the heart and created by hand. Since 2012 we have worked closely with a small weaving mill in Kathmandu, Nepal. Here our scarves and shawls are woven on authentic handlooms according to old traditions. We work primarily with luxury fibres such as cashmere, yak and silk, as this gentle production deserves the very finest materials. Everything is done by hand using traditional weaving techniques, and almost entirely without the use of electricity. When you buy one of our products, you are not just buying a scarf, but also a piece of cultural history.

It is slow work which, besides the weaving itself, involves many other processes. At every step we carry out quality control to ensure that the final product lives up to our standards. Unlike machine weaving, which is very uniform, handwoven textiles carry the imprint of the weaver who controls the loom.
Fair Fashion
The textile industry is one of the great polluters of the environment and climate, and we do not believe that fast fashion is the way forward. That is why we only produce designs we ourselves regard as classics. Timeless designs that are not driven by the whims of fashion, but colours and patterns you can wear year after year. That is why we have no annual collections. That is why we hold no sales.
A design is typically made in 30-50 pieces. When it sells out we may make it again - or perhaps we make something new. Our work is just as much a commitment to Nepal, where we believe we can make a difference. When you buy one of our handwoven shawls or scarves, you help to support this work. And for that we are very grateful. We naturally do not use child labour, and our employees receive a fair wage.
