Bhutan, the Buddhist kingdom on the eastern edge of the Himalayas, is known for its monasteries and spectacular landscapes. But the textile industry has also achieved international renown in recent years due to its unique manufacturing technology, colors and patterns.

Bhutan's textiles combine centuries-old knowledge, individual creativity and traditional craftsmanship. They are an important pillar of culture. Weaving is passed on from one generation to the next and is based on a high level of weaving skills.

With my partner Bhutan Textiles I brought a unique collection that combines handmade products with sustainable values to Europe.

These wonderfully beautiful cushion covers are available for decorative and floor cushions. They are all hand woven with a unique pattern.

The aim of the EU-BHUTAN trade support project is to create an improved environment for the export of high-quality handcrafted textile products that is based on the two pillars of "exclusivity" and "sustainability" and corresponds to the Bhutan values.
