With Fairtrade Fortnight just around the corner, I wanted to show the time and effort that goes into producing each AURA QUE design. With the initial designs put together in the UK, I then work with Kumar in the sampling unit at the leather factory in Kathmandu, to get the pattern correct, make changes and develop the bags into the final samples.
Here you can see Kumar working on the initial idea for LILA - our large weekender handbag - we work on the patterns together, making changes as we go along. This way, we can make sure the proportions are correct and the look is as desired. We also check that the making process is possible for a production, with minimal quality control issues and challenges without compromising on the design.
LILA weekender is available with handknitted banana yarn panels or all in leather, currently priced at £95 from our AURA QUE online boutique - click here: http://shop.auraque.com/products
