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 has brought me to the forefront of this new movement of change. Change in accountability and the new understanding that old buzzwords need serious backing up!

Through co-creation and collaboration we will establish a transparent  development of your needs from farm to branding and open many possibilities to certifications.

I can offer a full breakdown of your existing supply chain and give you alternatives which will fit with your ethos and limitations by implementing all the solutions to your limitations.

Through my own experiences in Asia in all manners of production houses and from meeting all manners 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 and seeing things from both sides of the supply chain.
