We have complied a directory of sustainable designers and companies, most of whom have been involved in The Eco-Design Fairs.

All companies are featured because they follow environmentally friendly procedures in the production of their designs. We also feature some Fair Trade companies.

Our directory serves as a resource tool for buyers, journalists, editors, teachers, students and anyone with a professional or personal interest in sustainable design.

We hope you find it useful.

AURA QUE Fair Trade Accessories

fashion model

AURA QUE creates a range of stylish contemporary accessories manufactured by the Nepal Fair Trade Group to increase ethical production in the developing country of Nepal.
Each AURA QUE design is brought to life in a Nepalese factory that employs local people affected by disabilities, providing an income for themselves and their families according to fair trade principles.

Designer Laura Queening incorporates local materials wherever possible, such as Allo hemp produced from a Himalayan plant, handmade brass fittings, natural textured Lokta paper and the traditional woven cloth. AURA QUE products use high quality 100% cowhide leather that is a by-product of the food industry.
AURA QUE products are individually hand crafted in Nepal, which may result in slight variations. The unique story behind each AURA QUE product enhances its charm
