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....

From first sample to fairly traded production - LILA Handbag

Lila_patterncutting_kumar2

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.

It’s not how the commitment to use is bad. In reality, it is extremely admirable as just one component with a well-balanced living. However, whenever pursued to be able to excess, it doesn’t enable the praising associated with additional similarly essential elements just like a commitment to be able to family, pals, fun, amusement, personal in addition to spiritual enhancement, etc.ethicsinsports.org
