Nuptse Craft

Nepal

Based in Kathmandu, Nepal, Nuptse Crafts's mission is to combat urban poverty. It supports skills-training and income-generation programs for 68 female heads-of-households living in and around the capital and provides access to education for their children, fostering a sense of independence in an otherwise marginalized population.

Nuptse Craft provides flexible yet sustainable work to its employees. Every artisan works full time and is paid monthly by the cooperative. Approximately 75 percent are married, and 70 percent are mothers. Some employees are able to complete their stitching work from home, allowing them to stay with their young children while they work. All artisans have the option to catch the bus to work free of charge, and each day, a hot lunch is provided for all employees. Nuptse Craft also sponsors a bi-annual retreat for its employees, focusing on dancing, music and food, to celebrate twice a year as a team.

Product description

Crepe Myrtle is considered to be the flower of Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love. No wonder these tall, bright and detailed new stems have us sighing in awe. With three bright colors to choose from, the Magenta, Lavender, or Blush Crepe Myrtle will tie together any floral arrangement. Pair with our new Ginkgo Leaf for an elegant flair, or with our tried and true Eucalyptus Leaf for a soft and delicate bouquet. Each flower is beautifully handmade by women artisans in Nepal, giving back to women-led cooperatives paying fair living wages and offering sustainable incomes.
