Established in 2009, Bhaktapur, Nepal

Established in 2009, VIMCO Handicrafts Nepal is not just a business. It's a commitment to empowerment. From inception, our mission has been clear to contribute to the livelihood development of deprived, vulnerable, and deserving women. Every meticulously crafted woolen product tells a story of skill, resilience, and the transformative impact we aim to create. By blending artistry with purpose, we not only create beautiful handcrafted items but also foster positive change in the lives of those who need it the most.

Promoting fair trade of Nepal

Fairtrade in Nepal emphasizes fair prices, empowering small-scale producers, and promoting sustainable practices while preserving cultural heritage. It advocates for fair labor, eradicates child labor, and ensures social service access. Additionally, it promotes market access and consumer education about ethically produced goods. Adherence to fair trade certification standards builds consumer trust and expands markets for Nepalese products. Crucially, government support is vital for the success of fair trade initiatives. By addressing these aspects, fair trade in Nepal can play a pivotal role in sustainable development, poverty reduction, and enhancing the overall well-being of communities involved in trade and production activities.

Supporting Eco-friendly choices

Eco-friendly choices involve adopting practices that prioritize environmental sustainability and reduce the planet's impact. This includes making conscious consumer choices, reducing carbon footprint, promoting waste reduction, advocating for environmentally conscious policies, promoting sustainable agriculture, conserving natural resources, adopting green technologies, and promoting a circular economy. Consumers can choose products made from sustainable materials, support companies with strong environmental policies, and choose energy-efficient appliances. Advocacy and education can also be crucial, promoting sustainable agriculture, conserving natural resources, and investing in renewable energy sources. The circular economy encourages reuse, recycling, and repurposing of products, extending their lifespan through repair and refurbishment. By embracing these practices, individuals contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way of living.
