Felt This Way blends Nepal’s rich crafts heritage with contemporary design to create felt products that are way more fun than they should be! Each one of our creations, made by our all women-workforce, offers a sustainable, plastic-free alternative rooted in Nepal’s artisanal legacy.
Our entire workforce is made up of Nepalese women who come from many diverse backgrounds - most of our artisans come from marginalised backgrounds. We pay fair wages and extend personal development opportunities to everyone involved resulting in creations you and your family adore - including your furry friends.
Living
In 2024, "Felt This Way" began in Kathmandu with a straightforward purpose: to create exceptional, high-quality felt products while empowering the women who make them.
What started as a shared vision among local artisans has grown into a dedicated, all-female collective. We combine traditional Nepali craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic, ensuring that every piece we create is both beautiful and built to last. For us, sustainability is not a marketing term; it is the core of our operations. We source our materials responsibly and design our processes to respect both the environment and the people who bring our products to life.
Today, our workshop stands as a space of independence, creativity, and fair livelihood for women in Kathmandu. Every item we share with the world carries that story of skill, resilience, and conscious design.
We use 100% organic Oeko-Tex certified New Zealand wool. Each piece is completely handcrafted using the traditional method of wet felting. In addition, our artisan sisters add intricate embroidery by hand to each product, giving it life through multiple threads. From start to finish, every product is made with heart and hands that give it the soul that no machine ever could!
Through our creations, we want to showcase our artistry while aligning our core values to the production process. Being the versatile and low-waste fabric that felt is, it was the natural choice (pun intended) to intertwine culture, sustainability and authenticity into our designs.
Green is good!
Our felt is made from organic wool using azo-free dyes and employing zero-waste production practices. We prioritize low carbon footprint and offer alternatives to plastics and synthetic materials, integrating ESG values at the core of our production process.
Keeping our planet in the forefront of every product design, we are dedicated to reducing our climate impact. Our felt is made from organic wool using zero-waste production practices. Minimizing plastics from our production, we use greener alternatives to synthetic materials.
The deep-rooted stories of Nepali artistry are represented through our designs. All of our products are handmade by artisans reflecting the heritage of nepali craftsmanship. Each product tells a story and is a testament to the unique nuances of culture here in Nepal.
