Find out more about our suppliers from India, Nepal and Bangladesh

Without trying to boost your ego too unduly, here at Yours Sustainably (http://www.yourssustainably.com), we think you’re pretty special. After all, you’re knowingly wandering off the beaten track of widespread corporate consumerism, instead embracing our own vision of sustainable, positive consumerism by browsing and potentially buying from our extensive selection of eco friendly gifts. As such, you’re likely to particularly care about where your purchases come from... so why don’t we tell you about some of our suppliers from India, Nepal and Bangladesh?

Of course, our full list of suppliers from this part of the world is just too long for us to discuss each one in detail in this article. But if we just select a few, Auroville, for example, describes itself as “a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities”. Sure enough, located near Pondicherry in South India, Auroville really is a community consisting of many different nationalities. With a commitment to sustainability, reforestation and renewable energy (among other priorities), it offers various printed sarongs and fabric and recycled paper necklaces in our online store.

Another valued supplier of ours from this part of the world is New Overseas Traders, which offers such earth friendly products as a butterfly notebook, elephant card holder, glitter mirror with pouch and Bollywood billboard apron. The company, which has been Fair Trade for more than a quarter of a century, sources, selects and imports various gifts and household items from India, with most of them having been reused or recycled in one way or another. We also have many handmade and offset picture books in our range of eco gifts, courtesy of the independent publisher based in Chennai, South India, Tara Books.

Or maybe you’re interested in one of the geometric woven eco bags or purses of AURA QUE? These stylish contemporary accessories are manufactured by the Nepal Fair Trade Group with the aim of boosting the developing nation of Nepal’s ethical production. The factory is run on fair trade principles, with local people – some affected by disabilities – being employed there and provided with a decent income for themselves and their families. Wherever possible, local Nepalese materials are incorporated into the company’s products, which are also individually hand crafted – all of which only adds to the charming individuality of each bag or purse.

There are so many more suppliers from the India, Nepal and Bangladesh areas that we could mention, from Maison Bengal and Best Years to Nkuku and ALKEMI, all of which have their own fascinating story to tell. But perhaps it is best to appreciate such suppliers by the stunning sustainable gifts that they produce?
