The Opening of Shirley Bredal Boutique, with AURA QUE bags available to order in Kathmandu!

Shirleyshop_blog1

Shirley Bredal designs and makes beautiful hand-knitted and cotton embroidered childrenswear, currently sold across Scandinavia.  She works with many women's knitting groups around Kathmandu to produce her designs, and has a similar ethical policy to mine at AURA QUE.

After much work and preparation, Shirley's first boutique has now opened in Kathmandu, selling all her children's clothes and accessories locally.  The store, though small, looks absolutely beautiful, Shirley has such an eye for interiors and for detail....

In the corner of the store, there are AURA QUE leather bags on display as well as NAZ jewellery by Russian designer Masha Navarova.  I am really pleased to have our AURA QUE bags displayed there, its a great boutique to be part of, and hopefully we can see what interest there might be in the market locally! It is worth a try!

The opening on Saturday went really well, with many people, both nepalese and ex-pats, turning up to check out the store and join the garden tea party, munching the fab mini cookies, doughnuts and cupcakes that Shirley had prepared - thanks to everyone who showed up! The store is now open!!

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!
