In the textile industry, several scraps and pieces from leftover fabric are wasted every day. At LWH, we’ve made the conscious choice to repurpose these materials, not only minimizing waste but also creating unique pieces. Rather than letting these scraps go to waste, we collect them from factories and incorporate them into our production, contributing to a more sustainable production. About the production: This product is handmade by local women in Nepal. When you purchase this item, you're supporting the artisans directly - 100% of the profits go to the women behind the creation, with no middle men involved. This model allows us to offer competitive prices while ensuring fair wages and sustainable livelihoods for the artisans who craft each piece.
