In the mountain villages of Nepal hemp has been used for centuries because of its strength and durability. Indigenous to Nepal, hemp requires little cultivation or mechanical processing and quickly regenerates after cutting. It is the ultimate environmentally friendly Nepali product.

All of our leather & hemp/leather bags are made from cows who died naturally. This supports the cultural traditions of the Nepalis who believe cows are sacred. The production of this leather is also environmentally friendly. The hide is tanned using a non-toxic & chemical free process, which is healthy for the earth & our artisans. Natural leather variations are normal.

Why Choose our Fair Trade Wholesale Bags from Nepal?

Ganesh Himal Trading wholesale fair trade bags are a perfect combination of style and function. Since 1984, we have worked with producers in Nepal to create useful everyday bags using traditional styles, skills, and materials. It is our philosophy that it “takes a village” to create a good bag and we do this by incorporating the needs of our customers with contemporary design. We use a variety of sustainable materials for these products including cotton, wool, recycled silk, recycled tires, hemp, and recycled scraps.

Our recycled silk sari bags are made from recycled scraps of silk saris that have been spun into a soft and colorful yarn. These accessories are some of Ganesh Himal’s most popular products. Our hemp bags are made from wild hemp that is sustainably harvested in western Nepal, and most of our cotton bags are made with hand-loomed fabric decorated with block-printing, combined with hemp swatches or detailed with other colorful cotton weaves. Custom tote-bags using your logo are also possible, we’ve done special orders for stores, organizations, co-ops, etc. We have created many unique small bags using the colorful recycled scraps of hand woven and block printed fabric left over from making our clothing or larger bags. These bits and pieces would otherwise be wasted and thrown away. Our brightly colored hand felted wool shoulder bags and coin purses are handmade by producers we have been working with for over 40 years. There are many fun and functional designs and all are a big hit!
