Browse our unique collection of nettle clothes, accessories and homeware and find unusual yet beautiful products.
The Himalayan Giant Nettle or 'Allo' is a fantastic wild fibre. This enormous plant grows wild in the hills of Nepal up to three metres tall and because it grows wild the nettle is naturally organic. It has long, stinging hairs covering its stem and leaves and yet from its fibre comes the most delicate of shawls, fine nettle-cloth for shirts, tops, and dresses - even fibre for carpets and upholstery.
Nettle is great to wear. With the cool touch of linen, nettle garments wick moisture away from the body to keep you comfortable in the warmest sun, while in colder weather the tiny hollow structures in the fibre trap body heat. Nettle is gentle on the skin as well as being naturally anti-bacterial and mould resistant.
Our nettle shirts are handloomed in our own workshop in Kathmandu and have a beautiful texture that will only get softer with time, yet remain hardwearing.
For your home we have handloomed wild nettle cushion covers with recycled silk or embroidery detailing. Buy our nettle rugs or mats and put something beautiful yet long lasting in your home.
Our nettle wraps have been hand crafted by ladies who are skilled in crochet and work from home. They are therefore able to top up their income without having to leave their children.
The sale of nettle yarn and nettle fibre products such as mats and the beautiful, whisper-fine nettle scarves provides a cash income to families living in remote hilly areas of Nepal, as well as supporting a Nepali-owned and -run industry.
