Kathmandu Fashion Parade.....

Last week, AURA QUE took part in the Kathmandu Fashion Parade to promote fashion products made in Nepal. It was a good opportunity to promote our products to a local audience, along side other Nepalese designers! Though there were techincal glitches and a power cut, Nepali style, we were pleased to be part of the first edition of this event!

As written in Republica (national newspaper in Nepal) by Shitu Rajbhandari:

"The accessories showcased by Aura Que were interesting, to say the least, and impressive for the fact that they were all made in Nepal. Through her collection, Laura Queening showed the potential our fashion industry has within the country."

Nice one!!

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!
