Felt Purse, Hummingbird
- Description
Gamcha is a small village in Nepal where my family before the big earthquake owned an ecological driven guesthouse. My father and I became fascinated by the traditional handicrafts that crafters were making in their small workshops - and here the idea of Gamcha started.
We wanted to share the beautiful work in Europe and in the mean time support the Nepalese crafters. Shanti and Nirjala are two women who started a felt production in 2004, and in collaboration we started designing products fitting the European market. Europeans loved our idea which means that today more than 125 women are working making our designs with fair treatment and payment: We have the vision to help even more Nepalese women to get a fair payed job and therewith independence which is rare for women in Nepal. Together we make a difference for the women in Nepal.
