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....

New Samples vs. Production.....

I have been trying my hardest to get our new Spring/Summer 2012 samples finished for upcoming viewings with our lovely stockists, and hopefully new wholesale buyers also!! 

As the leather factory does not have a seperate sampling department, I have been working around the ongoing production to sneak in a few new patterns and samples to add to our leather collection.  All are a 'work in process' but we are nearly there!! Kumar has been helping me get the samples ready - we are running a little late, but will be getting our catalogue finalised soon!

Throughout the year, I put together books of ideas for details, construction, pockets and texture - taken from magazines or library books or photos i take or ideas I draw.....anything I like the look of goes in there, until I refine my ideas each season for the new designs - its a good starting point!
