Empowering Women Through Craft: The Story Behind Handmade Felt Products
In the heart of Nepal, a quiet but powerful movement is unfolding. Women artisans are using a timeless technique — felting — to create eco-friendly products that are transforming not just homes, but entire communities.
What Is Felt and Why It Matters
Felt is one of the oldest fabrics known to humanity, made by matting and compressing natural wool fibers. Unlike synthetic materials, our felt is 100% New Zealand wool, dyed with AZO-free colors, and crafted without harmful chemicals. It’s durable, biodegradable, and beautiful — making it the perfect material for sustainable living.
Women at the Center
For many women in Nepal, felting is more than a craft; it’s independence. Working in fair trade workshops, women artisans earn steady incomes, support their families, and gain financial freedom. Every coaster, trivet, ornament, or pet cave carries the story of a woman shaping her future with her own hands.
