I arrived back in Nepal just in time for their New Year celebrations on Wednesday - they have a whole different lunar calendar based on the phases of the moon.  I was invited to the cultural programme at Kumbeshwar Technical School, where some of the children from the KTS primary school performed various traditional Nepali folk dances and songs - it was soo much fun!!

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!
