AURA QUE is not just about the finished products; its about the fair trade producers and their families that I work directly with, the constant challenges working in Nepal, as well as all the people I meet on my travels....

Double Introduction to India


Despite travelling through India many times, I have never been to see the Taj Mahal, so thought we would take a look before I met my leather suppliers at their tannery further north, on our way overland to Nepal.

So we hopped on a train to Agra from Delhi. Unfortunately, my friend Nick, who has come along for the ride, developed severe 'Delhi Belly' on his second day in India -ooooops! He reckoned he was going to die from food poisoning, I told him he was not. But poor guy, its not a nice way to be introduced to India!! So it has meant an extra few days in Agra until he feels better - so I'm making good use of my time: catching up on emails via wifi, sketching my design ideas and sunbathing - though I did drag Nick out to see the Taj Mahal at 5.30am this morn!
