About Umesh
Married to fellow artisan Lila Baiju; the couple work side by side in our Thamel workshop. Like everyone in our workshop, Umesh earns above the regional rate and has steady work the year round. Most handicraft export in South Asia runs on piece-work. Ours does not.
Craft & specialism
Umesh’s focus is Garment design, sewing. He is one of more than 50 artisans who hand-make everything we ship to shops and private-label brands in 80-plus countries. Every piece goes out with an origin card naming its maker and home district. Buy from us and you can show your own customers, in writing, who made what they bought.
