About 'A Beautiful Story'

Once upon a time there was a small fair-trade silver factory in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Let's go back to the year 2005. In that year, about twenty silversmiths worked in the factory, all professionals who made the most beautiful jewelry. Dambar, the owner of the factory, wanted more customers for his products so that he could continuously provide work for his silversmiths. That message reached Cathelijne Lania, the founder of A Beautiful Story.

This small silver factory has been expanded in collaboration with A Beautiful Story. The jewelry is designed in the Netherlands and produced in Kathmandu, where employees receive fair wages, many career opportunities and good working conditions.

Sustainability and Fair Trade

A Beautiful Story would like to help make the world a bit more beautiful. That is why they consider the impact on the world around us in everything they do. Sometimes that is quite difficult, because the products are made in countries that are very far away. The jewelry then comes to us by plane. Not really environmentally conscious... Yet A Beautiful Story chooses this, because their heart lies with the people in developing countries, who have enormous talent and craftsmanship, but do not always get the chance to find their way to the market.

That is why A Beautiful Story focuses on fair trade, in short, creating opportunities for producers in an economically difficult situation. They try to solve the other dilemmas that this entails, such as the impact on the environment, as best as possible.

From the first moment, A Beautiful Story acts according to fair-trade criteria. They believe it is very important that every employee in the chain earns a fair living for their work. Fair trade promotes sustainable development in international trade, especially in exports from poor countries to rich Western countries.

A Beautiful Story has an official certification with the World Fair Trade Organization, see www.wfto.com. This means that our customers and visitors do not just have to believe us 'on our blue eyes', but can rely on an official body that carries out inspections
