Overview
After working in the field of handmade products, we are well aware how popular and on demand our Nepalese handicrafts
are. The situation of such businesses are however in very pitiful condition as they struggle to get into the highly competitive platforms like amazon. There is a lack of strong encouragement for Nepalese artisans as their hard work and dedication are not adequately paid off. The skills of handicrafts have been passed down from generation to generation and this has been a very important culture here in Nepal. They give continuity to their inherited work and that is why the handicrafts are alive still today. A very large part of the Nepalese involved in the metal crafts such as Singing bowls, Tingshas , Gongs ,Bells , etc. These handmade crafts have been used from very ancient times for the sound healing purpose and the prayers to God. The Shilpakar families of the Newar community are known for their wooden crafts. They are one of the very important role players in preserving and promoting Nepalese arts and crafts as every piece of their creation reflects the artistry. Just like these , some are involved in the woolen arts, while others have passion for their stone crafts ,hemp products or Lokta products. They also make handmade incense of various kinds of local herbs and flowers and use them for various spiritual and religious purposes. These handmade products are entirely sourced from the locally available raw materials. The techniques and quality is unparalleled and it's still the same, unbothered. This is why the Nepalese handicrafts stand out to the world.
Why did we start off as YetiGiftShop? What is our purpose?
People from the rural areas are more vulnerable to the difficulties with the continuation of their generational work.
Most of them are involved in making bamboo, hemp and Lokta handmade products. Though the raw materials are locally available, lack of other resources to be on the business is what prevents these communities from fostering. In the joint venture with Samyak International which has gained its recognition as one of the major manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers of Singing bowls and felt products (mainly), we aim to leverage the strengths of our skilled artisans and products to gain the competitive advantage in the market. We want to showcase the authenticity and quality of Nepalese handicrafts to the wider audience as we expand our reach and grow our brand internationally. Getting your products from here, you are supporting local production, handmade eco products and ethical business. You are hearing the voices that are left unheard. You are respecting the hard work that is left unseen.
Thank you! YetiGiftShop
