New Samples vs. Production.....

I have been trying my hardest to get our new Spring/Summer 2012 samples finished for upcoming viewings with our lovely stockists, and hopefully new wholesale buyers also!! 

As the leather factory does not have a seperate sampling department, I have been working around the ongoing production to sneak in a few new patterns and samples to add to our leather collection.  All are a 'work in process' but we are nearly there!! Kumar has been helping me get the samples ready - we are running a little late, but will be getting our catalogue finalised soon!

Throughout the year, I put together books of ideas for details, construction, pockets and texture - taken from magazines or library books or photos i take or ideas I draw.....anything I like the look of goes in there, until I refine my ideas each season for the new designs - its a good starting point!

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!
