impact
We officially started in 2025 and are a few weeks away from dropping our first jacket — Numbur Series. Until then, this page shares how every scrap and every pre-order is fueling the community work we're lining up.
drop 00
The first production run is tiny. Each jacket sold helps us prove the model: turn leftover fabrics into art and utility goods, then route part of the margin into robotics classes, trail care, and other Solukhumbu projects.
timeline
week 0-1
Finalize patterns + begin cutting Numbur Series jackets.
week 2-3
Convert scraps into art pieces + small utility items.
week 4
Drop Numbur Series, publish impact ledger, and announce first robotics-class partner.
initiatives
materials
Before we scale, we’re cataloging every leftover panel and thread. Those scraps become art, sculpture, or tiny daily tools.
craft
Small utility runs — slings, organizers, trail notebooks — help us learn manufacturing while keeping waste near zero.
field
Profits from these experiments will feed Solukhumbu projects: robotics classes, maker meetups, and community cleanups.

repair lab
Spare panels, zipper garages, and reinforced stress points make every jacket easy to service. Repairs happen on the same bench where the two of us prototype new pieces.
community
We’re reserving 2% of future revenue for clean water, waste management, and trail maintenance in Solukhumbu. The plan is to co-create the fund with teachers, guides, and local NGOs so every rupee is directed by the people who know the terrain best.
take part
Shop capsules that fund repairs, conservation, and local craft. Or join a HIU field cleanup and see the impact firsthand.
