The Spring/Summer 2010 collection focuses on our new range of casual relaxed bags and scarves made from natural materials from Nepal.
This includes the Allo Hemp cloth traditionally made from the bark fibre of the Allo plant found in the Himalayan region of Nepal, and Shyama cloth is hand-woven traditionally by a small womens project in Bhaktapur, East of Kathmandu.
AURA QUE was established in 2008 by Laura Queening, following the success of her graduate collection at the prestigious Drapers Awards. Laura decided to take the opportunity to develop AURA QUE accessories which are manufactured according to IFAT fair trade guidelines, to promote ethical production and fair trade principles in developing countries.
Laura decided to focus on fair trade production in Nepal, having lived there in 2003, and the launch of AURA QUE has enabled her to combine her passion for design with ethical principles. All AURA QUE materials are sourced in Nepal and created directly in the country with local producers, in conjunction with The Nepal Fair Trade Group.
Through this work, AURA QUE works with the Nepal Leprosy Trust, an organisation which provides employment and support for people affected by disabilities which may otherwise lead to their segregation from the community.
