WHO WE ARE

Connecting Himalayan Tradition with Modern Living

Hooded Poncho is more than just a store; we’re a bridge between Nepal’s master artisans and conscious consumers worldwide. Founded by Sanvi Neupane in Australia, we specialize in authentic Nepali handicrafts that combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary lifestyle needs.

Our journey started with a simple observation: Nepal’s skilled artisans create exceptional handmade wool ponchos, authentic Gurkha Khukuri knives, and meditation singing bowls using techniques passed down through generations, yet few people outside the region know where to find genuine, ethically sourced pieces.

Today, we work directly with artisan communities throughout Nepal, offering premium yak wool ponchos, traditional Khukuri knives, hand-hammered singing bowls, luxurious pashmina shawls, and eco-friendly hemp bags. Every purchase supports fair wages, preserves traditional skills, and brings authentic Himalayan craftsmanship to your home.

What makes us different? We prioritize relationships over transactions. We know the artisans who create our products, understand their techniques, and ensure they receive fair compensation. When you choose Hooded Poncho, you’re supporting sustainable livelihoods while experiencing the warmth, quality, and cultural richness of genuine Nepali handicrafts.
