About Us

Karma Nepal Crafts is a women-owned slow fashion brand based
in New York offering handmade boho, hippie, and fairy-inspired clothing rooted
in slow, ethical, and sustainable fashion and made by women artisans in Nepal
and India.  Each piece is a soulful creation designed to help you feel
truly yourself—connected to spirit, nature, and your most authentic essence.
Our mission is simple:

Clothing that honors both the wearer and the maker.

Karma Nepal Crafts was born from a very simple place — hope.

After moving to the United States, our founder, Muna Gurung
spent five difficult years trying to find her path. She had no degree, no
formal skills, and at times, very little direction. She  felt lost and
unsure of where life was taking her.

Then one day, while visiting Nepal, She was walking through
the streets of Thamel in Kathmandu. She saw rows of vibrant handmade clothing,
textiles, and crafts. She was amazed by the creativity, the craftsmanship, and
the stories behind each piece. Something clicked inside her.

For the first time, She thought: maybe She can do something
with this.

Her father became her greatest inspiration. He had worked
for many years in Thailand in the garment industry and used to sell Nepal-made
products there. Watching his journey, learning from his experience, and
receiving his encouragement gave her the courage to believe in herself.

With no savings and a lot of uncertainty, She made a promise
to herself: “She will try.”

She decided to bring a few handmade items from Nepal to New
York, sell them at local markets, and see where the journey would take her.

That small leap of faith became the beginning of Karma Nepal
Crafts.

When it came time to choose a name,  She wanted
something deeply personal. She named the company “Karma” after her mother,
added “Nepal” for the country where She was born, and “Crafts” for the handmade
creations she dreamed of designing and sharing with the world.

And that is how Karma Nepal Crafts was born.

The early days were not easy. Building a business with no
financial stability was incredibly hard. To support her dream, She worked as a
housekeeper and babysitter during the weekdays and sold at street markets on
the weekends. Every step was a struggle — but also a lesson in resilience.

From the very beginning, her goal was clear: To create
sustainable, ethical products that everyday people can afford and feel good
wearing.

She knew that sustainable fashion often comes with high
prices, but She wanted to do things differently. She wanted to build a brand
that respects artisans, supports fair wages, and still remains accessible to
real people.

While Muna  was doing markets and small pop-up shops,
the world suddenly changed. COVID hit, and everything became uncertain. She
found herself in the middle of her journey, not knowing what to do next.

Around that time, her sister Devi had just graduated and was
working at Morgan Stanley, building a stable corporate career. One day, her
father told her something that changed everything: “You need someone to
help you grow online, and your sister is right there. When family works
together as a team, things become easier, stronger, and more meaningful.”

Those words stayed with her. 

Devi made a brave and life-changing decision — she quit her
job at Morgan Stanley and joined her full-time to do something they  truly
love and are passionate about.

Together, they  decided to rebuild Karma Nepal Crafts —
not just as a small market business, but as a growing e-commerce brand.

Devi became the pillar of our company. With very limited
financial resources, she taught herself everything — online platforms, website
management, photography, customer service, and operations. She worked day and
night to help take our little dream to the next level.

That is how Karma Nepal Crafts grew from just brick-and-mortar
markets to a thriving online business.
