We are a long established manufacturer of cashmere, linen and cotton knitwear - a family-run business based in Hampshire, with all production supplied through our own factory in Kathmandu. Our clients include small, independent boutiques through to luxury stores, many requesting the production of own-label collections.
We visit our extended family in Nepal on a regular basis so we can oversee production first hand. This is also the perfect opportunity to ensure we're meeting our customers' expectations in terms of service, quality and delivery. As a family business we believe strongly in fair trade, ethical sourcing and organic yarns. We also invest actively in Kathmandu's local community.
“As a family business we believe strongly in fair trade and investing in people and communities, but not at the expense of our products – as it happens, we think the two go hand in hand.”
