From the remote hills of Bajhang to cities across Nepal, our journey is one of perseverance, craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Our story begins in Soti village of the then Kandel VDC, now Chhabis Pathivera Rural Municipality Ward No. 3, in Bajhang district. In those times, the village remained untouched by commercial enterprise. Subsistence farming and labor work in India were the main sources of livelihood.
Born in 1984 BS (Kartik), Haribhakta Darji learned the traditional craft of tailoring using just a needle and thread. Later, the hand-operated sewing machine arrived, and through the “Baligharey” tradition—a local custom where tailors would go house to house—he supported his family of nine: his wife, six sons, and one daughter.
"In the village, we learned to stitch with just needle and thread. The sewing machine came later. Through the Baligharey tradition (बालीघरे प्रथा), we sustained our family."
