This colorful belt has been handcrafted in Nepal by artisans in the remote mountain villages of Lapa, Tipling and Shertung. It is made using discarded plastic wrappers from popular manufactured food products brought in from the cities.

Recycling programs have been started in the villages to encourage the collection of non- biodegradable trash and to educate about the importance of protecting the natural ecology. It can be a meaningful gift to anybody that understands the importance of recycling and knows how creative we all can be by turning waste into something beautiful and meaningful!

Net proceeds from the purchase of this gift funds primary healthcare and community education through Himalayan Healthcare. 

This belt has an intricate weaving pattern that alternates silver and color. It can dress up any outfit for evening or can easily be worn with jeans for a casual look.
