About us

global inspirations... traded fairly

Celebrating 20 years in business this year 1997 - 2017

20 Years of Namaste! We are celebrating our 20th year in business. The Namaste journey continues as we bring you our latest inspirational collections, fairly traded from the far corners of the world including a NEW Artisan collection. These are exquisite items that celebrate the very best of traditional handmade skills.

‘Namaste’ which can be simply translated as ‘Welcome’ in the country of Nepal, was the result of an inspirational year long trip to Nepal and India. Starting off in Nepal with a fantastic trek to Mount Everest base camp, followed by 6 months circumnavigating the Indian Subcontinent on motorbikes. The bikes were re-conditioned ex Indian Army single cylinder Enfield Bullets and the 1950s technology was quite a challenge, particularly with no biking experience and no license! Sleeping under the stars at the side of the road, the idea for the business slowly developed through meeting people making crafts for a living. Starting a business meant earning a living while putting something back into such a wonderful part of the world. We still remember our first catalogue, shot by ourselves on the farm where we had our first barn warehouse, complete with chickens and wellies! Development from then on has been organic growth over the years - a lot of hard work and a lot of fun along the way! Many of our customers have been with us since the early days and we hope they have enjoyed the journey with us. We have a great team and we look forward to developing the business. All products share the handmade artisan element and we are proud to support our producers, to help them and see them develop over time along with us. Fair Trade must be competitively priced and commercially successful. Just because the product is fair trade does not mean it is expensive. We aim to buy direct from the makers which makes our prices very competitive.

We try very hard to maintain excellent stock levels and an efficient, friendly customer service. We only invoice and charge customers for the goods we have in stock. The more you can buy from us the better we can support you with higher discounts and the more we can support our Fair Trade producers.

After going through many processes the wool is spun to make the type of yarn required by the artisans. Our knitwear ranges feature two distinct wool collections. One uses a finer wool yarn which allows for more complexity in the patterns. The finer wool also allows for richer and deeper colours and naturally this collection is more expensive, it is also seriously eye catching and attractive and is good value when you consider the hours taken to make a garment. The other collection is in a chunkier wool yarn which produces a different look and feel and is a little lower in price.

Many of the artisan knitters are home-workers, producing our garments while running their homes and looking after their families. Knitting is all done by hand using traditional needles and wool, usually two needles but for more complex designs such as hand warmers or socks they may need to use 3 or 4 needles at the same time. The skills they use are passed down through generations and we are proud to be able to support these skills.

This close up image of a lady knitting shows a hat being produced in the chunkier wool. With some of the more intricate patterns that have more colours the knitter sometimes has many balls of wool of different colours and they have to pick up a colour for a few stitches and then change to a different colour. They will do this many times in the knitting of a garment, this is skilled artisan work as they are doing this from memory of the pattern they are trying to produce.

Image shows Durbar Square, Kathmandu, an area full of temples and palaces, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This area was very badly damaged during the 2015 earthquakes and the restoration work is still on-going now. It is essential to raise awareness of the importance of trade as a route out of poverty and to enable these poor countries to develop.

Our largest Nepalese supplier, whom we helped set up in business at the end of the last century makes clothing and felt products, and is a member of the Fair Trade Group Nepal. We have a hand made paper supplier who is also a member.

Namaste Fair Trade Policy Summary We are a small company with a strong ethical policy that is based upon the belief that the best way to reduce poverty in the developing world is through trade. We are not perfect but we are honest and our aim is to improve our own goals, aspirations and achievements as we develop in tandem with our producer partners. Namaste is recognised by BAFTS, the British Association for Fair Trade Shops and Suppliers as a Fair Trade importer.

Mutually beneficial long term trade We look to buy from small scale producers who use largely natural materials and traditional techniques to produce interesting and inherently beautiful articles. We believe that the best way to help disadvantaged producers is to work with them in partnership through mutually beneficial and long term trade. We have helped over 100 producers to grow and develop with us since we started trading 20 years ago.

Fair Trade Organisations Some of our suppliers are members of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) and some are members of their appropriate National Fair Trade Organization. Our largest suppliers in India, Vietnam, Nepal and Kenya are recognized by the WFTO or their national counterparts as Fair Trade producers. We encourage and if appropriate; help our suppliers to seek formal fair trade recognition. In Thailand and Indonesia we deal with many very small scale artisan producers who do not wish to or do not have the ability to become recognized Fair Trade producers. We believe very strongly that these are the sort of very small scale producers who really do need our help. It is what Fair Trade should be about and we are proud to help with or without them having formal fair trade recognition.

Why do we think it is Fair Trade? The WFTO has 10 principles that Fair Trade organisations must follow. We follow these principles and regularly review our procedures and achievements according to these principles:1.

Namaste seeks to work with disadvantaged and marginalized producers and to develop business with them to help them become financially stronger and more independent. We try to buy craft products that reflect the culture and tradition and that utilize the skills of the supplier. We also buy from some larger producers if we are happy that they are also adhering to the principles of Fair Trade. Many larger suppliers are able to provide better job security, facilities and benefits for their workers and many are able to support community or charitable projects.

2. We are accountable to BAFTS and provide transparent information about our producers and trading practices to BAFTS as part of our ongoing membership renewal. We make Fair Trade Point of Sale information available for our customers. 3. We always follow Fair Trading practices. This involves paying an advance when asked for or required to allow the producer to buy raw materials and start making the order without getting into financial difficulty. We never ask for or take credit terms from any of our suppliers. When the goods are shipped, they have been paid for in full. We never make exceptions to these rules and never have. If suppliers need money early for particular reasons we will always try and help them. 4. We discuss pricing with our suppliers in an open and honest way. We seek to pay a price that fairly reflects the value of the product, that allows it to sell successfully and that allows the workers to earn fair wages. We do our best to ensure that wages paid are at or above local expectations and in accordance with national laws.

5. We do our utmost to ensure that no children or forced labour is involved in the production of Namaste products. We ensure that no children under the age of 16 are involved in factory based production for Namaste. Many items are produced by home workers, which provides useful additional income whilst allowing them to look after their homes and families. 6. Namaste suppliers commit to non-discrimination, gender equality and freedom of association. 7. Wherever possible we visit suppliers ourselves to make sure that producers have good working conditions. We also have agents who make visits and act on our behalf. All suppliers must first complete a long and detailed questionnaire relating to their Fair Trade policies. 8. We look for long term relationships with our suppliers and provide them with designs and ideas to benefit their business and keep the orders flowing. By providing repeat orders, advance payments and by making a commitment never to cancel or unduly delay orders helps our suppliers to grow and develop capacity. 9. Namaste promotes Fair Trade through our activities and literature. 10. We are using more and more recycled or environmentally friendly materials in our products which now make up a very large percentage of our product range. Our suppliers are encouraged to respect their environment and to have written and audited environmental policies.

Child Rescue Nepal Namaste have been supporting Child Rescue Nepal for almost 20 years. We are currently helping raise money to get Bhumeswari Primary School a much needed water supply and toilet. This will make a massive difference to the school as they did not have a water supply previously. The majority of children walk over an hour to school and not having running water or toilets means that many don’t bother to attend. It is a little known fact but children who are attending school are much less likely to be trafficked and end up in slavery. Making schools stronger not only helps children’s education but it helps to keep them safe. The school pictured has just received their new water source and toilets and their attendance has increased by 30% since their water supply was installed.

WINTER WOOLLIES & ACCESSORIES

All items that we now buy from Nepal carry the tag shown below, each time we pay our suppliers in Nepal we will pay a percentage of the invoice value directly to Child Rescue Nepal.


Child Rescue Nepal frees children from slavery. In Nepal we estimate that there are almost 100,000 children working in hazardous situations.These children are extremely vulnerable and suffer frequent physical, emotional and often sexual abuse. In order to combat this we focus on rescuing children from slavery as well working hard to prevent the children of Nepal entering slavery in the first place.We work with local police to raid factories, restaurants and hotels where children are being held captive.We take children to our safe house where they receive medical attention and counselling.We provide food, clothing, education and a safe home until we can safely reunite them with their families. We believe that investing in ways to keep

children in education is a crucial way of preventing children entering the slave trade. By providing bursaries, midday meals, taps and classrooms we ensure that schools are safe spaces where children want to be. We have rescued nearly 700 children and ensured that thousands more children have been kept in education. However our work is far from over.We want to end child slavery in Nepal and we won’t stop until every child is free.
