Our Story

 

WYLDWEAVES, the brainchild of founder and CEO Nitasha Khemka, is deeply rooted in the passionate desire, to tap into the potential of Nepal’s rich natural resources – and both sustainably use and develop the skills and competencies of its working force, such as spinning, weaving and paper making. WYLDWEAVES uses only plant based fibers such as hemp, bamboo and nettle.

 

Having started 5 years ago WYLDWEAVES specialises in exporting hand loomed & semi hand loomed textiles, yarns & accessories. Within the framework of various collaborations Nitasha works with social enterprise to develop different product lines focussing on hemp as an exceptionally versatile raw material. As a result she introduced handmade hemp paper into Nepal in 2020, also experimenting with a blend of hemp and traditional arteli fibers. In 2022 WYLDWEAVES remains the only start-up supplying hemp based papers in the country.

 

Using her education as fashion designer and marketing expert Nitasha Khemka continues to develop WYLDWEAVES as a driving force to raise awareness about hemp as a sustainable alternative to conventional materials. After all, as she passionately says: We would never have to cut another tree – by accepting and using the gift that hemp is!
