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....

AURA QUE at RHS Tatton Park Flower Show last week...

Last week we were at the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show in the Country Living Tent, selling our current AURA QUE products. It was a great opportunity to meet with prospective customers and also get some feedback on our product range, directly from the visitors.  We also managed to have a sneaky peek at all the flower displays and gardens around the show, as well as sample the many great foody products on offer!

We had stock of our new Travel Range (see below) - including the Travel Dress in drawstring bag, Sleeping Bag liner in drawstring bag and Travel Cotton Bag, all in fun bright paisley and patterned cotton fabrics.  The Travel Dresses especially proved to be popular gift purchases!

Even in the fantastic sunny weather, we still sold many of our VELA Neck scarves in the handknitted banana yarn (see below) for winter!

We also had our new jacquard/leather styles such as the ESTA Satchel shown below in summery bright coloured patterns...

Our JOGI Bag range proved really popular!

So I am not really a flowery gardener type, it was amazing all the flower displays and gardens, some with inspiring political messages, such as the Quaker 'World without Torture' Garden (see: http://www.wirralchesterquakers.org.uk/q-cat/garden.html) and the 'Sister Sufragette' Garden inspired by 'Vote for Women'.

and to top it all off, who would not be amazed to see the Queens Jubilee and the Houses of Parliament complete with fireworks, depicted in a flower display! (see below)
