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

A love letter to the greatest city in the world, in felt form! Our handcrafted Big Apple Ornament is a plump, rosy red apple embroidered with NYC in chunky cream lettering; a nod to the city's most beloved nickname. Topped with a brown felt stem, a single olive leaf, and a bold teal crown inspired by Lady Liberty herself, this little ornament is packed with New York pride from stem to tip. Hang it on your tree, gift it to a transplant who bleeds New York, tuck it into a holiday card for a friend who just moved to the city, or grab one as a souvenir that's actually worth keeping. It's the kind of ornament that sparks a conversation every single time.
