About NepalShop

Nepalese artisans at work

Our Story

NepalShop was founded in 2020 with a simple mission: to connect skilled Nepalese artisans with global customers who appreciate authentic, handcrafted goods. What began as a small passion project has grown into a thriving marketplace that supports hundreds of artisans and their families.

Our founder, after traveling extensively throughout Nepal, was struck by the incredible craftsmanship and rich cultural heritage expressed through the handmade products. However, many talented artisans struggled to reach markets beyond their local communities. NepalShop was created to bridge this gap, providing a platform for these artisans to showcase their work to the world.

Our Mission

At NepalShop, we're committed to:

  • Preserving traditional Nepalese craftsmanship and cultural heritage
  • Ensuring fair compensation and sustainable livelihoods for artisans
  • Promoting environmentally responsible production methods
  • Providing customers with authentic, high-quality products with meaningful stories
  • Creating economic opportunities in Nepal's rural communities

Our Artisans

Behind every product on NepalShop is a skilled artisan with years of experience in their craft. Many of these skills have been passed down through generations, representing centuries of cultural knowledge and artistic tradition.

We work directly with artisan cooperatives and family workshops throughout Nepal, from the bustling streets of Kathmandu to remote mountain villages. By eliminating middlemen, we ensure that artisans receive fair compensation for their work and can maintain sustainable livelihoods.

Fair Trade Commitment

NepalShop is committed to fair trade principles. This means:

  • Paying fair prices that reflect the true value of artisans' work
  • Providing safe and healthy working conditions
  • Supporting environmentally sustainable practices
  • Building long-term relationships with our artisan partners
  • Ensuring transparency throughout our supply chain

Quality & Authenticity

Every product on NepalShop is carefully selected for its quality, authenticity, and cultural significance. We work closely with our artisan partners to ensure that each item meets our high standards while maintaining the unique character that comes from handcrafted production.

When you purchase from NepalShop, you're not just buying a product – you're bringing home a piece of Nepal's rich cultural heritage and supporting the continuation of traditional craftsmanship.
