There’s a great origin story behind Canadian brand Didi Bahini.

”Didi Bahini partners with businesses and artisans in Nepal to market their handicrafts to North American consumers in a way that connects, inspires and expands Fair Trade.

“Didi Bahini” means sisters in Nepali and we see ourselves as a connector between Sisters in Nepal who make beautiful handicrafts and Sisters in North America who appreciate and enjoy the distinctive, quality pieces. There is a current of love and appreciation that binds these women in partnership and equal exchange.”

As a member of the Fair Trade Federation, we are committed to a vision of a world in which justice, equity, and sustainable development are at the heart of trade structures and practices so that everyone, through their work, can maintain a decent and dignified livelihood. We want to see everyone live lives of joy, self-respect and self-sustainability.”

This sterling silver bracelet is handmade in Nepal and sells for CAD$75 (on sale at the time of writing from $150).
