About Cool Trade Winds

We are small independent company that has been trading since 2001; during this time we have forged strong trading relationships with producer groups located in Nepal and India. Every item we sell is handcrafted by our talented artisans, using traditional weaving, knitting or wet felting techniques. We have small production runs to eliminate as much waste material, where possible we also recycle the materials into other products. Therefore reducing our impact to the environment as much as possible. We work with small family run businesses or fair trade cooperatives, that are creating secure employment in an area with little opportunity, especially for women. Every product purchased supports our artisans, enabling them to live independently with access to safe, discrimination free work with a fair rate of pay.Read their story
