What began as a simple conversation has become a celebration of craftsmanship. We are proud to share Kathmandu Weave at T.NUA Exhibition 02 in Milan, Italy

What began as a joyful conversation soon unfolded into a beautiful journey of research, experimentation, craftsmanship, countless discussions, shared laughter, and the search for new meanings through traditional weaving. At Nepal Knotcraft Centre, we were honored with the opportunity to explore and collaborate with an inspiring team. Along the way came excitement, curiosity, and moments of panic, wondering if we could truly preserve the soul, authenticity, and emotions embedded within our craft traditions.
The answer was clear: trust the supreme hands of our artisans.
We allowed their skills, wisdom, and personal interpretations to guide the process. We searched for the right yarns and plant fibers, worked patiently with the loom, and followed wherever the warp and weft chose to take us. Every thread became a dialogue between heritage and imagination, giving new life and meaning to Kathmandu Weave. This creation is not only about a finished piece, it is about people, stories, experimentation, and the courage to reimagine tradition while remaining rooted in craftsmanship.

Our heartfelt gratitude to Sangeeta Thapa ji, who always thinks of us and believes in our work; Mauro, Tao, our founder Shyam Badan Shrestha and the entire team for envisioning and reimagining the Kathmandu Weave; and above all, to our extraordinary artisans whose hands transformed ideas into beautiful weavings. Together, we continue to weave stories, communities, and possibilities.

Thank you Tara and The Kathmandu Post 🙏🏻
