A New Chapter at Himal International: Embarking on Felt Handicrafts
For over two decades, Himal International has stood as a beacon of Nepali craftsmanship, exporting exquisite metal statues, silver jewelry, singing bowls, Pashmina shawls, and incense sticks. Rooted in the artisanal legacy of Lalitpur, near the historic Patan Durbar Square, the company has built its reputation on a foundation of quality, tradition, and innovation.
Now, a new chapter unfolds as the founder’s daughter, Prajita, joins the family business. Growing up surrounded by the beauty and precision of her family’s craft, Prajita developed a deep appreciation for traditional Nepali artistry. Yet, her entrepreneurial spirit and creative vision inspired her to explore new possibilities. With a background in design and a passion for sustainable craftsmanship, Prajita has introduced a fresh direction for Himal International: the production of felt handicrafts.
Felt, a versatile and eco-friendly material, offers endless opportunities for creativity. Prajita envisions expanding the company’s offerings with handcrafted felt products, such as home décor, toys, accessories, and holiday ornaments. Her goal is to complement the company’s existing product lines while appealing to a growing global demand for sustainable and ethically made items.
Under Prajita’s leadership, Himal International has established a dedicated production unit for felt handicrafts. Partnering with skilled artisans from Nepal, the initiative not only diversifies the company’s product range but also provides employment opportunities for women and marginalized communities. Upholding the family tradition, quality control remains paramount, ensuring that every felt product reflects the same craftsmanship and care as the company’s iconic offerings.
As Prajita blends the old with the new, Himal International continues its legacy of innovation while honoring the heritage that defines its essence. By embracing felt handicrafts, the company embarks on an exciting journey, offering its customers around the world a modern expression of Nepal’s rich artisanal traditions.
