ABOUT THE ARTISANS

This piece of knitwear was handmade by women artisans in a fair trade cooperative in Nepal.  The cooperative began in 1985 with 25 women, and has grown to employ more than 1200 in 8 workshops across the Kathmandu Valley.  In addition to receiving fair wages the women have opportunities for skill development, work in safe conditions and are learning business skills.
