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....

All pieces hand-knitted for the bags....ready for leather production!

Finally our AURA QUE hand-knitted panels for the handbag range are now completed!  The women have all brought in the pieces that they have knitted at home over the last few weeks.  All the pieces had to be checked compared to the pattern size, with each piece inspected and cleaned up before I collected them all to take to the leather factory.
