The HFMN handloom quality mark launches

The HFMN handloom quality mark has been formally launched. The mark certifies that a fabric was spun, dyed and woven by registered artisans and can be traced end-to-end — from mulberry leaf and fleece to the finished bolt.

It is issued at cost and audited annually by an independent inspection team. The first cooperatives receiving the mark are a mix of long-established weaving communities in Bhaktapur, Palpa and Dhading.
