We go to Nepal once a year to work with our teams, design and sample products for upcoming seasons, and to explore potential partnerships. The month we spend with our teams is time that we cherish, as it creates so much inspiration and understanding for the environment in which they live. Nepal is rich in culture and heritage, and we seek to know more of the history and texture of the country we have chosen to invest in. There are a lot of challenges to work through in any developing nation, and we are grateful for the friends we have made over the years that have made our work in Nepal possible.
