Almost all of our wool products are knitted by hand in Nepal. Only in a few cases is a knitting machine used. Because fair and good working conditions for our producers are extremely important to us, we travel to Nepal ourselves at least once a year. There, we order directly from the local community and also visit the production facilities where our goods are knitted. Our wool products are primarily produced by women, as they often struggle to find employment in Nepal that also offers fair wages and decent working conditions.
Personal contact with local people is particularly important to us to ensure that working conditions meet our ethical standards and can be continuously improved. All production facilities with which we cooperate pay above-average hourly wages and adhere to strict guidelines aligned with Fairtrade standards. This means not only that wages are paid fairly and on time, but also that any form of discrimination – be it based on gender, caste, nationality, or other social differences – is excluded. Naturally, child labor is also ruled out in our partner factories.
Through these measures, we help workers and their families lead better lives and benefit from their work in the long term.
We are proud to have been working with our local partners in Nepal for over a decade, setting an example for fair production conditions and sustainable development. Through this close partnership and mutual trust, we have succeeded in building stable and reliable structures that enable us to offer high-quality products under fair conditions. Our collaboration with Nepalese companies is far more than a purely business relationship – it is characterized by respect, appreciation, and the shared goal of having a positive impact on the local community through fair and ethical production methods.
By making our supply chain transparent and regularly visiting our sites, we can ensure that the standards we set for ourselves are actually met. For us, it's not just an ethical concern, but a commitment to upholding and protecting the dignity and rights of the people involved in the production of our goods. This philosophy is reflected in each of our products, which are handcrafted with love and care.
