Creation Nepal

  Dear All

Over the last 48 hours we have developed a relationship with a group of companies in Nepal called Creation Nepal. They will affiliate to us and although this will not be a profit making venture it will ease greatly the purchase of clothes etc for the princesses in the Metta Centre. Looking through their catalogue I noticed items of outdoor gortex clothing at prices that need to be seen to be believed. I also know that other items in their catalogue might appeal to the shopkeepers amongst us.  Below are the products categories and our entry on the daily journal.

It gives me much pleasure to welcome Krishna and Creation Nepal in to the family of A Ray of Hope. It is hoped that Piya, the director of the Metta Centre will soon get an opportunity to meet with Krishna. It may certainly ease our problems in obtaining some items for “our princesses”.  I think the competitiveness of their online catalogue might amaze you  and therefore commend you to browse the interesting items they have available. Could I draw your attention especially to their outdoor gortex wear. So if you require functional items or fashionable… their range of items will have something for you. 

 

Creation Nepal  is a group of companies that manufacture and export quality products at wholesale prices. All our products areenvironmentally friendly and do not cause deforestation, but in fact help reduce it. We manufacture unique products at a high standard of quality. All our products are made by skilled artisans. We select our sources carefully to be 100% free of child labor.

Our philosophy

We mainly concentrate on promotion of Nepalese handmade products to encourage and develop the skills and lifestyle of people from the hilly and mountainous regions where the raw materials originate. We employ as many workers as possible from a range of social and economic levels, while offering benefits such as health-care and education to their children. We believe in fair trade leading to social benefits and are not focused on profit alone.

Our Products
Creation Nepal offers varieties of quality Nepalese handicrafts including fashionable garments, pure lokta papers, wool sweaters, bags and hats and pashmina stoles for export all over the world. We encourage our customers to request and suggest custom designs. One's imagination is the only limit.

In addition to paper products, bags and hats, pashmina shawls, apparel and silver jewelry, we can provide you a range of traditional arts and crafts such as thanka paintings, Nepalese and Tibetan carpets, and Buddhist items including prayer flag, stupas, statues and incense.

Furthermore, carved wood crafts, metal crafts, masks, musical instruments, puppets, stone crafts, beads, ceramics products, herbal teas and other herbal products are available from Creation Nepal.

Raw materials:
Most of our raw materials such as hemp, nettle, cotton, silk, natural pashmina and paper products come from the mountains, and they are made by hand locally. Local villagers collect wild hemp and nettles in quantities that do not adversely affect the bio-system, to keep the harvest eco-friendly. Production begins with soaking the plantfiber, which is then boiled with ash to bleach it and make it soft. After drying on rocks in the sun, the fiber is turned into thread by hand and delivered to looms to be woven into fabric. Hemp fabric is a bit harder than nettles and is more durable than cotton, and hemp products are long-lasting. These natural fiber fabrics are healthful for the wearer, providing warmth in cold weather and helping one stay cool in during hot weather.

Collection
In addition to our own production of garments and handicraft items, we collect products from various artisan centers and studios. We are assisted by persons who are experts in various handcrafted products and ritual items such as statues, thankas and singing bowls. With their aid, we assemble the best examples in every catagory. And we guarantee the quality and authenticity of all our products.

Export
We export our products anywhere in the world. Our many satisfied customers, especially in Europe and North America, are testimony to the quality and reliability of Creation Nepal.
