Description

Cosy & Ethical: The Brushed Hooded Poncho (Definitely Not Yak!)

Prepare to wrap yourself in serious warmth and feel smug about your ethical shopping choices. This Brushed Hooded Poncho is the perfect companion for those chilly evenings, crisp autumn walks, or just snuggling up on the sofa.

Why You’ll Love It (No Yaks Were Harmed):

Let’s get the cheeky bit out of the way first. You might see similar items elsewhere claiming to be “Yak Wool.” We love a good story, but we’re also honest! This wonderfully soft material is a brushed acrylic and cotton blend—and frankly, it’s just as snuggly as any imaginary yak.

• Warm & Inviting: The brushed finish gives it a gloriously soft feel, making it an instant favourite for an extra layer of warmth.
• The Perfect Autumn Vibe: The traditional Himalayan patterns and colours will have you looking effortlessly chic, whether you’re gathering chestnuts or just grabbing a flat white from your local coffee shop (If you’re in Hull, hopefully that’s Karma Corner!)
• Practical Hood: Keep the wind off your neck and your ears toasty warm.

A Story of Trust & Fair Trade

This poncho isn’t just a pretty garment; it’s a tiny piece of positive change, and that’s the best bit! We source this beautiful item through Namaste UK, a long-established, BAFTS-registered Fair Trade wholesaler right here in the UK.

This is why it matters to us (and you!):

• Decades of Expertise: Namaste UK has been importing ethically for years. They are the experts, regularly visiting their suppliers in Nepal to ensure fair working conditions and strong ethical standards are consistently met.
• Empowering Women: The producer in Kathmandu, who is a member of the Fair Trade Group Nepal, runs a vital social programme that trains and rehabilitates ‘Kamlari’ girls who have escaped from a life of servitude.
• Post-Earthquake Commitment: Namaste significantly increased its commitment to its Nepali partners following the 2015 earthquake. By buying this poncho, you’re contributing to a trusted supply chain that is helping this wonderful country continue to rebuild. You’re basically a tiny hero in a poncho!
• Supporting Child Rescue Nepal: A percentage of all purchases Namaste makes from the supplier goes directly to Child Rescue Nepal. Ethical, sustainable, and helping children—that’s the Near & Fair way!
