The Cashmere:

Wrap yourself in cashmere that never goes out of style. All of our cashmere is handloomed in Pokhara Nepal by blind, deaf, or disabled weavers in a local non-profit organization that provides them with the tools, training, and support necessary to become independent through weaving. In Nepal, the disabled are discriminated against in mainstream society. They have little or no opportunities for work. Weaving allows them to enjoy an independent life, increases their self-esteem and also improves the way they are treated by their family. The organization further gives back to the disabled community by donating white canes, hearing aids and wheel-chairs, providing food, medicine and essential goods for aged-care homes. Material: 100% Handloomed Himalayan Cashmere. Fair Trade and handmade 

The Sapphires:

Faceted natural Sapphire beads ranging from 2mm to 3mm finished at the bottom edge with a pair of baby blue faceted Sapphire briolettes. Over 50 carats total weight per Viitta. 

Viitta: Finnish for cloak or cape. The Viitta Collection is wearable art combining the best in luxurious fabrics adorned with natural gemstones. All by hand.
