Muskhane

Muskhane is a state of mind. The name means 'smile' in Nepalese and it's this optimism that Valérie and Thierry hope to project. Since 2002, Muskhane draws its inspiration from the artisanal heritage of Nepal, rich in colours and quality materials to develop collections in felted wool and cashmere. The traditional methods of working with organic materials are still alive in the Kathmandu Valley. Thanks to this rich cultural heritage, every decorative object, every accessory, and every piece of clothing from Muskhane is hand-made. It was here that Valérie learned the artisanal methods and the aesthetic born of her love of pure and clean design coupled with vibrant colours. Muskhane’s products are designed in France and hand-made in the workshops of the Kathmandu Valley. They are composed entirely of natural and renewable materials - sheep's wool, Nepalese cotton and paper. A socially and environmentally engaged brand, they strive to leave a minimal footprint on the environment whilst making a positive impact on the lives of their partners through fair-trade and sustainable commerce. They are committed to giving a fair price to their artisans so that they can achieve a comfortable living wage, and also provide ongoing additional financial support to various social and educational causes in Nepal.
