Behind the scenes - keeping it simple with our AURA QUE Photoshoot in Nepal.

Before I left Nepal this time, I arranged a small photoshoot in Kathmandu for all our current AURA QUE products.

Working with a young local model and up and coming photographer, who works for a local fashion magazine Navyaata, we kept it simple, working on a terrace rooftop using natural light, and simple clothing to emphasise the bags photographed!

Things do not happen as efficiently as it could do in the UK, with a two hour wait for the photographer, change of venue for better lighting and an entourage of family members and friends to add to the distraction and frustration but we got it all done and I am really happy with the results!!

AURA QUE creates a range of stylish contemporary accessories manufactured by the Nepal Fair Trade Group to increase ethical production in the developing country of Nepal.

Each AURA QUE design is brought to life in a Nepalese factory that employs local people affected by disabilities, providing an income for themselves and their families according to fair trade principles.
Designer Laura Queening incorporates local materials wherever possible, such as Allo hemp produced from a Himalayan plant, handmade brass fittings, natural textured Lokta paper and the traditional woven cloth.

AURA QUE products use high quality 100% Buffalo leather that is a by-product of the food industry. AURA QUE products are individually hand crafted in Nepal, which may result in slight variations. The unique story behind each AURA QUE product enhances its charm!
