Nepali by TDM Design - Set to Help Nepal One Scarf at a Time

New York, NY, August 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Drawing inspiration from the skilled craftsmanship of Nepalese weavers as well as the rich, natural fibers and vibrant colors found only in Nepal, Michelle Baldwin and Michelle Taylor-Spearman of TDM Design launched their Nepali accessories line in 2007. Nepali by TDM Design is a collection of luxurious, exquisite, and stylish scarves that are the perfect accessory to compliment any look. Each piece is hand-made using the highest quality fibers as well as deep, natural dyes to ensure a superior look and feel.

Nepali by TDM Design provides sustainable income to Nepalese women and helps weavers and their families break the cycle of poverty. TDM provides their weavers with above market compensation as well as access to both healthcare for their families and education for their children. Michelle and Michelle believe that income generation opportunities and support for social values enhance and reinforce each other. TDM strives to strengthen the role of women in Nepal by empowering each and every one of their artisans.

Each Nepali scarf is made from natural materials such as silk, cashmere, bamboo, modal, wool and eco-friendly azo-free dyes. Their accessories are eco-conscious, socially responsible and stunning – all at the same time. This October, Nepali by TDM Design is donating 50% of the proceeds from their “Kitty” scarf to the Susan G Komen Foundation in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
