Accessories

We have lots of scarves, bags, hats and purses to choose from in a variety of colours and fabrics. There are handwoven ‘Gheri’ fabric bags from Nepal, printed cotton bags from India and leather bags from a small Nepalese workshop. We have block printed cotton scarves, patchwork sari scarves and delicately woven scarves from India. For something cosier we also stock soft and bright shawls. Our bamboo socks in lovely patterns and designs are also a popular range.

Producer Profile: Aaha Felt

Supplier: Paper High

Aaha Felt is a unique family run business in a small village in Nepal. Their products are entirely handmade and dyed using only the best quality felt. Aaha Felt provides training and work for women within some of the poorest communities in Nepal. To date the company has empowered more than 100 women.  They are also committed to being as “green” as possible through their choice of raw materials and dyes as well as using solar energy to help run its operations.

The techniques they use are centuries old and have been passed down from generation to generation and truly display the local artisans’ own traditions and customs, making each piece perfectly unique.

Aaha Felt makes sure that each artisan is paid a fair wage and that they work in a clean, safe and comfortable environment. The artisans also have direct influence, if not complete control over the design and production process.
