Naturally Strong. Beautifully Sustainable.

Himalayan nettle is a remarkable natural fiber — durable, renewable, and grown without the need for intensive irrigation or chemicals. Handwoven into placemats, coasters, pillows, and bags, it brings earthy texture and quiet beauty to everyday spaces while supporting a more thoughtful way of making.

What makes nettle a sustainable fiber?

Himalayan nettle grows wild and regenerates naturally, making it a renewable fiber that does not require the same intensive irrigation or chemical inputs as many conventional materials. Once harvested, it can be hand-processed and woven into strong, textured textiles with a beautifully natural feel.

Is nettle soft or scratchy?

Nettle has an earthy, textured feel rather than a silky-smooth finish. Our placemats, coasters, and bags are made from 100% nettle, giving them a sturdy, natural texture that works beautifully for pieces meant to hold their shape and stand up to everyday use. Our nettle pillow covers are blended with wool and/or cotton, which softens the feel while still keeping the depth, character, and handwoven texture that make nettle so beautiful.

Care Instructions

Handwash in cold water with a gentle detergent. Lay flat to dry, reshaping if needed. Avoid bleach, high heat, and machine drying to help preserve the natural texture of the nettle fiber.

What Is Himalayan Nettle?

This wild-growing fiber has been used for generations in Nepal to create strong, textured textiles — and it happens to be one of the most sustainable materials we carry.

Mala Thapa Magar

MALA THAPA MAGAR is the founder and CEO of Himalayan Allo Udhyog (HAU), a company that produces nettle (also known as allo) fiber, fabrics, yarn, clothing and bags. Mala’s company indirectly employs more than 600 people, mostly women in remote villages in Nepal. While raising the standards of living of these women, the business has also helped raise awareness of the sustainability of nettle fiber. Himalayan nettle is a perennial plant that grows quickly and uses much less water than cotton and no pesticides. Women who work with Mala use the nettle to produce handmade throw pillows, crocheted bags, and more.
