Bora studio was founded in 2017 with the goal of providing the best fashionable quality products while using organic and recyclable materials that are also environmentally friendly. Meena Gurung, the founder of the very studio explains how they use natural fabrics and dye for the garments. “I also recycle used clothes and give them a second life by dyeing and printing naturally, not chemicals”, she says. She aims to create products with high utility value while causing the least amount of environmental damage.
The journey began with a store in Lazimpat, Kathmandu, and a large team of employees. In all of their creations, they used cotton canvas, hand-woven silk, and bamboo fabrics. However, they never used plastic or any low-cost alternatives that jeopardized their goals of being a sustainable brand.
