Viva Nepal 🇳🇵

That looks great. If I had the cash I’d snap one up

I guess this is a comprehensive attempt at summing up that thread.

With respect, there are plenty of art pieces I'd rather spend my money on. A bit steep for a rug.

really?

i get confused by this kind of stuff.  I read what you wrote

and then read what they have written.......


Fair payment and good working conditions are a
matter, of course, for Jan Kath as well.
Together with label Step, they are fully
committed to adhering to strict social and
ecological standards in the production of
carpets.
STEP was founded as an independent
non-governmental organization in 1995 by
well-known aid organizations such as Bread for
the World, Caritas, and Swissaid. It has an
active local presence in all of the major
carpet-producing countries, including Afghanistan,
India, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco, Nepal,
Pakistan, and Turkey. Independent inspectors
regularly visit production sites to check the
working conditions. Based on current market
prices, label STEP calculates the wages required
by carpet weavers and other workers to cover
the cost of food, health care, living, energy,
clothes, and education for themselves and their
families.
Both STEP and JAN KATH are firmly against
exploitative child labor. A system of fair trade
and rigorous regulation helps to prevent child
labor and also combats its causes by improving
working conditions and increasing wages. It also
creates prospects for young people: only when
parents earn enough to secure a livelihood for
their families, can they afford to send their
children to school instead of letting them work.
“I’ve lived and worked in Nepal and Mongolia for
several years myself,” says Kath. He feels a
close con nection with the locals in these
countries and visits the production facilities
every month. “Of course, it’s a moral
imperative. But it’s also in our own interest
as a business to make sure that we provide the
right working conditions. We set up day cares so
our employees’ children don’t run around
playing between the weaving stools. This gives
our workers the peace and quiet they need to
concentrate many of our designs are highly
intricate and difficult to create. We also want
to keep the craft of weaving appealing. After
all, we need a motivated skilled workforce in
our factories, both for today and in the
future.”

I was just kidding, sorry if it was to serious

pretty steep for a carpet, gotta have really deep pockets if you are willing to step on nearly 4 grand on a daily basis
