Nepal's Pokhara Hemp Gallery Has Made Eco-Friendly Hemp Products For 20 Years Now

It isn’t unknown to anyone that the fashion and textile industry is among the largest contributors to global pollution and creates a large waste problem. With many looking for eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives to fabrics, hemp seems to be the new wonderkid on the block.

The world finally seems to be moving away from the imagery of hemp that was once associated with cannabis and seeing it for the sustainable alternative it is. But for almost two decades now, long before hemp was viewed in the kind of light it is now, a clothing and apparel brand in Nepal has been creating hemp fabrics, cosmetics, bags, shoes, accessories and a lot more.

With hemp at the core of their endeavor, Pokhara Hemp Gallery has been able to establish itself as an eco-fashion brand that is creating a textile that isn’t just comfortable and durable but is also stylish. The brand is also the perfect blend of a love for the earth and an urban aesthetic.

As people involved in Nepal’s natural fibres industry, they hope that the world will open up to the image of Nepal as a viable and thriving textile industry that is not only boosting their local economy but is also in tune with the demands of the world to turn eco-friendly and sustainable.

Firm believers in local production, the brand locally sources wild hemp and has their own textile mill for manufacturing hemp, bamboo and organic cotton fabrics that they sell in their store in Pokhara as well as export internationally.
