Empowering One Woman At A Time

Welcome to Local Women's Handicrafts. We’re a fair trade, eco-conscious collective of women who create unique fashion and decor in Nepal. Our mission is to help empower and educate women, enabling them to write their own destiny. We provide a safe space for women who have escaped abusive practices in the textile industry and other injustices in their local communities. Our manufacturing facilities allow these women to learn new skills and crafts as a group to help heal and rehabilitate their spirits. Through raising awareness and making fashion in an ethical way, our goal is to end childhood slavery, forced marriage, and other injustices against women.

About Us

  • Empowering Women

    We support women and their children by providing them a safe place free from violence and negative social pressures. We work in Nepal, one of the least developed countries in the world, where only 2% of women own businesses.

  • Sustainable

    Through offering skills development in handicraft production and literacy education, we empower women to generate their own income and support their children in a healthy and sustainable way.

  • Environmentally Friendly

    We grow and harvest raw materials locally and we recycle discarded materials, using 100-year-old looms to weave the textiles and using sustainable production to support
    a locally based economy.

  • Ethical

    We’re working towards bringing an end to fast fashion, freeing women from sweatshops, and protecting Mother Earth. Handcrafted with love by women coming together to change the fashion industry. We’re committed to giving supply chain transparency
    to our customers.
