our philosophy
The Nepalese are renowned for their craftsmanship, for people using their hands to create beautiful art from what is readily found in the natural world around them. This craftsmanship nurtures a relationship of give and take-- understanding, respect, and care, both between cultures and between people and the land.
Our vision is to provide a space for a mutual exchange between artisans and visitors. To create a setting for artists to be able to share, preserve and protect their art forms, their knowledge, their heritage by sharing with those who appreciate it, and in return see practices be passed down to coming generations. The goal is to celebrate slow living, sustainability, art, culture, tradition, and community through storytelling, hosting workshops and courses, and maintaining an artisan marketplace.
​
We foster an environment in which each individual and community that we collaborate with feels safe, heard, empowered, and compensated fairly. We believe that these ethical practices are necessary for creativity to flow freely, establish trust and build the foundation for long-term partnerships.

Thank you for taking this journey with us.

how it works
1.
collaboration with Nepali artisans
we partner with artisans to design and curate collections, build workshops, and write journals to share traditional art, stories, and Nepali culture with homes around the world. By working directly with artisans we are able to ensure safe, healthy working environments and practices.
2.
timeless art shared with you
goods, stories, and knowledge is shared with you directly to appreciate and take forward with you. By doing this we are able to offer reasonable prices while compensating our partners fairly. We stay true to traditional art forms while offering practical goods and services to stay with you for a lifetime.
3.
investment back into art and community
proceeds from income generated are invested back to the artisan communities allowing for small business growth and community development projects. By creating sustainable income and therefore stability we find people often join together to help one another so everyone is successful.
4.
preservation of traditional art forms
traditional art forms become respected and craftsmanship is passed onto the next generation as it is now viewed as a viable option that serves families and communities and stays true to the heritage. This allows us to circle back and continue collaborating thus creating a circular economy while preserving art.
