PARTNERING UP

We are honored to be partnering with the International Trade Centre’s Ethical Fashion Initiative (EFI), a joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, to support the artisan community in Nepal as we continue to reinvigorate the hand weaving traditions of the region.

EFI Founder Simone Cipriani who is a passionate advocate of artisans worldwide and an invaluable advisor to our efforts had this to say, “We want to bring hand-weaving back to the heart of fashion. Too many people do not know how fabric is made and the richness behind the process. Hand-woven fabric is the true hand of fashion. This is why we have decided to include FROM THE ROAD in our community of artisan producers and we are building this relationship in a sustainable and durable way.”

Together we will be looking at everything from artisan community needs to special sourcing programs with nomadic herders in Tibet. Stay tuned…

From The Road was born out of a love for off-the-grid travel and a desire to create irresistible objects with soul. Each collaboration starts with a conversation and ends with a conversation piece.
