I was just walking along Pokhara's shopping street, when I found one tiny shop of Women Support Group - selling handmade bags. And even though I'm not very keen in buying anything and having even this fatal "closer look", I accepted the invitation and entered the shop this time. The manager of the shop was just so kind and shining and friendly! She introduced their production process, the shop and organization. And in back-side I could see women working: creating fabric and sewing the bags.. Everything was so close and so real and so.. genuine, that buying bag from this shop felt like a real contribution! And as I didn't find bag with suitable color and size, I just gave special order and got exactly the bag I wanted couple of days later. I'm unbelievably proud to have this bag!

Muidugi imetore, kui saad osta enda disainitud koti!
väga ilus kott on, ja specialiks teeb selle veel see, et see on tehtud just sulle ja nii nagu sulle meeldib - mõnus :)
Kusjuures see naika tegi suured silmad, kui ma tellisin sellist üleni musta (halli) kotti ja arvas, et see on liiga sünge (neil olid kõik pigem sellised rõõmsavärvilised kangad). Aga siis ma seletasin, et Nepaalis on jah tore sellist rõõmsavärvilist kotti omada, aga kodus ma eelistan halli! :) Ja no nii armas, kuidas ta sai aru, et on olemas teistsuguseid kultuure ja keskkondi - ja aktsepteeris seda täielikult.
Kui ma koju jõuan, siis hakkan sellega poes käima! ;)
