YAK FIBRE

Our yak products are made from 100% yak down. Yak down is a rare and luxurious fiber that is similar in softness and feel to cashmere. It is superior in warmth to many sheep wool fibers while similar in durability. Yak down is combed once a year from the yak’s winter coat and praised to be one of the most sustainable fibers available.

We partner with a social enterprise on the Tibetan Plateau that works closely with local yak herders to gather the fibers. In partnering with them we can ensure high traceability throughout our supply and production chain. Our yak is natural and undyed and comes in two colors, Oat Brown and Dark Brown

KNOW YOUR KNITTER

KNOW YOUR KNITTER

We believe that an essential part of supply chain transparency is knowing who has made the clothes you wear. Owning our own production facility in Kathmandu, Nepal allows DINADI to provide an unprecedented degree of openness and transparency.

Every hand-knitted product made at DINADI includes the name of the maker on the product label and the maker’s picture on the paper hangtag.

Every machine knitted product includes the name and picture of a team member involved in the production of the product on the paper hangtag.

We believe the makers of our garments deserve to be celebrated which is why we’re proud to introduce you to all the amazing people who work for DINADI.

FOUNDERS STORY

FOUNDERS STORY

In 2012, DINADI co-Founders Preston (from Canada) and Mirjam (from Sweden) moved to Nepal with their three children. Deeply impacted by the effects of poverty they saw and inspired by the resilience of the Nepali people, they began exploring ways to create meaningful change. With a common vision for social transformation, they brought together their love for business, people, and knitting to form DINADI.

On April 11, 2016, DINADI was founded with a simple belief: that job creation and social entrepreneurship—not handouts—bring lasting change to developing communities. While much has changed since then, our mission remains the same: to provide dignified employment to Nepali women affected by poverty and gender discrimination.
