Kathmandu, March 20 -- What began as a joint effort to research Nepal's natural resources has now become a global representation of indigenous craftsmanship, and empowering women.
Arati Subba and Samriddhi Gurung were raised in the UK, had years of experience in the fashion industry, and found themselves in Nepal during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"I always wanted to explore what Nepal naturally offers," says Gurung. "After a lot of research, we discovered that beeswax is a biowaste that lasts three times longer than soy or paraffin wax."
She researched the local market for lifestyle products, and found only paraffin candles for sale. So, they thought, why not create beeswax candles?
