Sarswati Chaudhary, Prestige Handicrafts Industry

Namaste, I am Sarswati Chaudhary, originally from Kailali, Joshipur, and currently living in Lolang Machapokhari with my son and husband. At 46 years old, I am dedicated to promoting my handmade woolen products, a craft that allows me to express my creativity and skills while earning a livelihood through my Prestige Handicrafts Industry. Through my work, I have the opportunity to share my art with people from around the world.

My journey began when I was 20 years old and moved to Kathmandu with my husband. To support our basic needs and our son's education, we both worked at handicraft companies. Over time, I became highly skilled in this field, gaining extensive experience and expertise.Starting my own business came with many challenges, the biggest being financial constraints. Without a wealthy background to support my venture, my husband and I had to manage the financial difficulties together. Through perseverance and hard work, we eventually overcame these obstacles, and our business began to flourish.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is the appreciation I receive from customers worldwide. Many visitors take photos while I am working in my shop, expressing admiration for my art and dedication. This recognition brings me immense joy and motivation.My husband has been the backbone of my journey, supporting me every step of the way, both in life and in the handicraft sector. His unwavering support has been crucial to our success.

A significant turning point in my business journey came when Organic Lifestyle offered me the opportunity to collaborate with them. This partnership provided a platform to showcase my products to a broader audience, significantly boosting my business. Their commitment to promoting ethically sourced, handmade products aligned perfectly with my values and goals.

Thank you for reading my story. I look forward to continuing to share my passion for woolen handicrafts with the world.
