The Dhaka industry in Nepal is led by women weavers who start their business with just a small amount of capital to support their family. ☀️ it is always of upmost importance to us to support local artisans - knowing our dollar goes to empowering a woman to support her family and give her independence is what fuels our purpose 💪🏻

Introducing our latest collection: Nepali Artistry 🎋

It is a dream for us to offer a collection of textiles straight from Kathmandu. This collection of Nepali textiles is known as Palpali Dhaka. While the history of weaving in Nepal dates back to the second century AD, this particular style is fairly new, originating in 1958 in Tansen, Palpa. The Dhaka industry is led by women weavers who start their business with just a small amount of capital to support their family. The Palpali Dhaka is woven on a mixture of treadle wood or bamboo handlooms and some automated looms.

The Koguí fique mochila
While in Colombia, I had the opportunity to meet the Mama and the interpreter of the Koguí tribe who live in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains. The women of the tribe weave traditional fique bags used for everything from holding babies (similar to the American baby sling!) to whatever needs to be used for the day. I am excited to offer them within the Ama trove! Learn more about the Koguí and the fique bags through our site 🌿
80% of proceeds go directly to the Koguí
