About Local Women's Hadicrafts

Local Women’s Handicrafts was founded with a big goal: To lift artisans up who have been exploited in fashion industry; to provide them dignified jobs that give them opportunity, skills, and a sense of independence; Nasreen Sheikh founded LWH as a small shop in Kathmandu when she was still a teenager. As a survivor of Modern Slavery, she opened LWH to take control of her own destiny and give herself the kind of hope she’d previously never thought possible. Nasreen soon began supporting artisans who made handcrafted textiles they could sell at her shop and receive living wage. As she saw the artisans gain confidence and light return to their eyes, she realized she had the opportunity to support disadvantaged artisans. With your support we have touched 100's of artisans life. Our goal is to support all artisans and create a textile industry that honors sustainability, human rights and dignity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upcycled fabric is made from repurposed materials, such as old clothing, textiles, or discarded fabric scraps, that would otherwise go to waste. By giving these materials a new life, upcycled bags reduce waste, conserve resources, and minimize the environmental footprint of production.

Hemp is considered a highly sustainable material due to its environmental benefits and versatility. Here’s why:

Low Water Usage: Hemp requires significantly less water to grow compared to crops like cotton, making it more sustainable in areas with water scarcity.
Minimal Pesticides and Herbicides: It naturally resists pests and weeds, reducing the need for harmful chemicals that can damage ecosystems and pollute water supplies.
Carbon Sequestration: Hemp absorbs large amounts of CO₂ during its growth cycle, helping to offset greenhouse gas emissions. It also improves soil health by adding nutrients and preventing erosion.
Fast Growth and High Yield: Hemp is a rapidly renewable resource, capable of growing to maturity in just 3-4 months, and provides a high yield per acre compared to other crops.
Biodegradability: Products made from hemp naturally decompose at the end of their life cycle, reducing long-term waste and the burden on landfills.
Versatility: Hemp can be used to make textiles, paper, biofuel, biodegradable plastics, and construction materials, providing eco-friendly alternatives to resource-intensive and synthetic products.
