Overview

Kolpa works with communities from all tundras of Nepal from Dolpa in the upper regions which borders Tibet, making textiles from Yak, goat and sheep wool to the more temperate middle regions where nettle is used for weaving to the semi tropical southern regions where matting and baskets are made. One tribe stands out which Kolpa has worked with over the years and formed a close bond with is the Raute. They are the last nomadic tribe in Nepal which make carved travelling wooden chests and bowls. Being Nomadic they circulate the growth of the trees they cut, only cutting those which are able to grow back, therefore not disturbing their ecosystem and respecting the forests.

how to build a new supply chain:

Ready to work with me?

Being in the middle of what I see is a broken supply chain where the top 5 areas for 2024 that brands need to look into are supply chain I feel I am right where I am supposed to be and my back ground has brought me to the forefront of this new movement of change. 

Through co-creation and collaboration we can establish and aim to meet your needs of raw materials and the needs of the suppliers and growers through a genuine process of transparency, even if you are experimenting with the idea of story telling and new fibres.

Through my own experiences in Asia in all manners of production and from meeting a wide variety of different people in manufacturing and sourcing since the inception of my brand in 2013, I have found that my strength has been from carving out my own niche through an understanding and ability to work across all levels of manufacture - but most importantly seeing things from both sides of the supply chain.
