why us
Environmental Responsibility
We acknowledge the critical importance of sustainable practices in the fashion industry. From our choice of eco-friendly materials, including natural fabrics, natural dye, or azo-free dye, to the implementation of innovative, low-impact production processes, every decision we make is rooted in a profound respect for the environment. Most of our fabrics are weaved in Nepal, contributing to both the local economy and sustainable practices.
We believe in utilizing local resources. So, we prioritize materials like bamboo and cotton, renowned for their sustainability. With a touch of innovation and love to nature, we create our products. For you, to connect and contemplate nature.

why us
Social Responsibility
At Danfe Works, we believe in fashion with a purpose. Our commitment to social responsibility is woven into the fabric of everything we do. We take immense pride in not just creating garments, but in championing ethical labor practices and prioritizing the well-being of our employees.
Our dedication extends beyond the production line, as we actively engage in community initiatives through our social partner SAATH, contributing to positive societal impact. When you choose Danfe Works, you’re not justmaking a fashion statement; you’re supporting a brand that values ethical labor practices, prioritizes employee well-being, and actively contributes to the preservation and promotion of traditional skills.
In our pursuit of social responsibility, we recognize the immense value of preserving traditional skills that have been passed down through generations. Danfe Works places a strong emphasis on reviving and promoting these timeless crafts, ensuring they are not just preserved but also celebrated in contemporary fashion.
From the vibrant strokes of Mithila Art to the intricate details of embroidery, crochet, and knitting, we celebrate these skills as an integral part of our cultural heritage. Despite their rich history, these skills often remain hidden gems, overshadowed by modern trends. We aim to change that narrative, bringing these traditional crafts to the forefront of mainstream fashion.
Our focus extends beyond the skills themselves; we celebrate the artisans and their craftsmanship. By incorporating traditional skills into our designs, we not only pay homage to our cultural roots but also provide a platform for local communities to showcase their expertise. Through this, we aim to bridge the gap between generations, creating a harmonious blend of heritage and contemporary style. At Danfe Works, every piece tells a story—a story of ethical fashion, community empowerment, and the timeless beauty of traditional craftsmanship.
our story
Our Story
Our journey began in 2015, armed with limited resources and boundless determination. Danfe emerged from the “Awasar” project, translating to “opportunity,” initially launched by SAATH and later evolving into a social enterprise.
The initial stages were quite tough, but our unwavering resolve and the desire to infuse nature, tradition and narrative into Nepalese fashion fueled our perseverance. Our mission was clear: bridge the gap between marginalized communities and the world of fashion. We aimed to showcase their creativity, craftsmanship, and ethical work processes—ushering in an era of ethical fashion.
Danfe is more than a brand; it’s a vibrant tapestry woven with the threads of inclusivity and shared stories. We invite you to be a part of our journey, for Danfe finds its essence in the array of colors that our community contributes. Join us, because Danfe is incomplete without the unique feathers each individual brings.
