AURA QUE

Directions Website Contact the business

The AURA QUE range is made in direct collaboration with fair trade producer groups, breathing new li We are based in Hastings on the South Coast, UK.

We design with integrity, creating beautifully handcrafted products to be treasured season after season. Central to our ethos is nurturing long-lasting relationships with our producers in Nepal, and we are on a quest to develop our most ethical and eco-friendly supply chain possible. We use the below principles to guide us along our way:

PEOPLE - Community is everything to us, from the people who make our products to the individuals who buy them. INTEGRITY - ‘Namaste’ is a Nepalese greeting which means ‘An expression of appreciation and respect to one another’ - this is our mantra. PRODUCT - We treasure the unique handmade qualities of our products, valuing the time and skill devoted to creating each piece. IMPACT - Providing work and economic security for the people that make our products is our number one focus but we are also truly committed to evolving all areas of our business to reduce our impact on the planet. CELEBRATION - ‘’Same, same but different’’ is one of our favourite responses from our Nepalese team… At AURA QUE, we love the quirks and characteristics between different cultures and the fact that we are all ‘same, same but different’.

🇳🇵🌼 HAPPY DASHAIN 2026! 🪔

Wishing all our wonderful artisan partners, producers and friends in Nepal a very Happy Dashain! 💛

Dashain is one of Nepal’s biggest festivals, celebrated this year from 17th–24th October, with families coming together to enjoy the festivities, traditions and some well-deserved time off.

Every autumn, there’s always a bit of a rush at AURA QUE to get our production in Nepal finished and shipped before Dashain begins! With Tihar following not long afterwards, October isn't exactly the most productive month for work in Nepal, as everyone quite rightly focuses on celebrating and spending time with family! 🎉

And this year was no exception… our latest top-up order was finished just a few days ago and sent on its way to the UK. Phew! 📦✈️

We've managed to squeeze in some much-needed restocks of popular AURA QUE styles, along with the remaining pieces for some lovely bespoke orders for the RNLI, Peerie Shop, St Pauls Cathedral and V&A gift shops. Fingers crossed everything arrives safely with us in Hastings soon! 🤞

🪔 This lovely photo was taken at a little shrine in one of our producers’ homes in Nepal, with candles, fruit offerings, Nepali rupee notes and an image of Hindu deities, all part of the traditions and celebrations surrounding Dashain.

But for now, the hard work is done, the shipment is on its way, and it's time for our artisan partners to enjoy the festivities!

Happy Dashain to everyone celebrating!🇳🇵🌼💛

📦♻️ IT’S WHAT’S INSIDE THAT COUNTS! 💚

If you’ve ever received an AURA QUE order in a slightly battered cardboard box, there’s a good reason for that!

We’re committed to reusing as much packaging as possible, for both our retail and wholesale orders, to help reduce waste wherever we can. 🌿

📦 Our boxes have travelled far! Many of our wholesale orders are packed into the same sturdy, triple-walled cardboard boxes that our handmade products arrive in from Nepal. They might have a few bumps and scrapes from their travels, but they’re still perfectly good for another journey!

♻️ Reuse before recycling! We save and reuse cardboard boxes, plastic sheeting and other protective packaging that comes into our workshop, giving materials another life rather than throwing them away.

✂️ Even our old boxes get a second chance! Any cardboard that’s too damaged to reuse goes through our rather fancy shredder, which transforms it into lattice-cut cardboard padding. It’s brilliant for protecting our handmade ceramics and filling gaps in parcels!

💚 Trying to reduce the extras. We use water-activated paper tape wherever possible, although some parcels, particularly larger wholesale orders, still need conventional sticky tape to keep everything securely packed.

So, especially to our lovely wholesale stockists, if your next delivery arrives in a box that looks like it’s seen a bit of the world, we hope you’ll understand why! 🌏

It’s what’s inside that counts, and by reusing packaging and choosing recycled alternatives wherever we can, we’re doing our little bit to reduce waste at AURA QUE.
Small choices, made every day, can make a difference. 💚

🎃 AUTUMN IS ON ITS WAY… 🍂🧡

The days are getting shorter, the leaves are starting to turn and I’m very ready for pumpkin season!

Orange has always been one of my favourite colours to wear, so autumn is a particularly good excuse to bring out all those rich rust, terracotta and pumpkin shades. 🧡

Here are a few of my current orange favourites from the AURA QUE range – our Rust Orange felt slippers, felt mats, colourful recycled sari scarves and our new Saffron Orange banana yarn accessories for AW26.

And mixed in with the AURA QUE pics are a few photos from our trip to Tibbs Farm last autumn. 🎃 We had such a lovely time – lots of wholesome pumpkin fun and a brilliant local family business to support.

If you’re planning a pumpkin trip this autumn, I’d definitely recommend seeking out your own local farm or small family business. And if you’re local to us in East Sussex, Tibbs Farm is well worth a visit. 🧡

Here’s to crisp autumn days, pumpkin picking and embracing all things orange! 🍁🎃

🎈 HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY MEL! 🎂🥳
Today we’re celebrating a very special birthday at AURA QUE – our wonderful Mel is 40! 💛

Mel has worked with me for over six years now, and quite a lot of life has happened in that time! She’s welcomed her third child, Archie, and somehow juggled life with three children alongside work at AURA QUE. Together we’ve navigated changes of premises, different teams and plenty of busy seasons – as well as Mel holding the fort at AQ HQ through my own maternity leave with Etta.

And she really can turn her hand to anything. From processing orders and managing the warehouse to customer service, training staff, sorting rotas, problem solving dispatch issues and tackling the inevitable courier dramas… Mel calmly gets on with whatever is thrown her way.

She has been such a rock at AQ HQ over the years – dependable, positive and always ready to help, usually with a smile even on the most chaotic days!

I’m so grateful for everything you do, Mel, and very lucky to have had you alongside me through so many changes at AURA QUE.

Wishing you the happiest 40th birthday and some very well-deserved time off to celebrate! 🥂🎉🎈

Happy Birthday Mel! 💛

New Banana Yarn Colours inspired by Himalayan Sunsets 🌄

I’ve always loved sunrises and sunsets, wherever I am. They’re one of those everyday moments that can suddenly make you stop and look – the colours can be completely unexpected, sometimes almost unreal. 💜🧡🩷🩶💚

For AW26, that sense of wonder inspired five new colours for our vegan banana fibre accessories, taking particular inspiration from sunsets over the Himalayan landscape in Nepal:
💜 Indigo Purple – deep, dramatic purple
🧡 Saffron Orange – a rich, golden orange
🩷 Sunset Pink – a soft, hazy blush
🩶 Clay Grey – an earthy mountain grey
💚 Twilight Green – a deep, peaceful green

The new colours are available across our BIBEK handwoven scarves and VARGA crochet wristwarmers, handmade from banana fibre yarn at our long-term partner workshop in Bhaktapur, Nepal.

Run by Deepchand, the small workshop provides work for local people using wonderfully hands-on, cottage-industry processes. Our BIBEK scarves are woven in long rolls before being hand dyed using azo-free dyes, thoroughly washed, line dried and individually cut and finished.

I first met Deepchand in 2009, when he was weaving cotton fabrics for Sana Hastakala, and we’ve been working together ever since. More recently, we developed our banana fibre range together, and I’m really excited to give this popular collection a fresh new palette for AW26. 🌱

Shop the five new Himalayan Sunset colours online now.

🕯️ MAKING OUR JYOTI CANDLESTICK HOLDERS IN NEPAL

A little behind-the-scenes look at how our JYOTI stoneware candlestick holders come to life…

When I was in Nepal last Easter, I visited the main workshop where we develop part of our ceramics range. Here is Hari making our final sample by hand at the potter’s wheel. 🇳🇵

Each JYOTI starts as clay on the wheel, where the main form and plate are carefully thrown. The measurements are checked as it’s made - with an allowance for the shrinkage that naturally happens as the clay dries and is fired in the kiln.

The handle is made separately from a piece of rolled clay, shaped by hand and carefully attached to the thrown form before the piece is dried, fired and glazed.
It’s a process with lots of small stages - and one where the maker has to think ahead to how the finished piece will emerge from the kiln. The handmade nature means there will always be those little variations in shape and finish that make each one slightly different. 🤎

The finished JYOTI candlestick holders in new colourways Green Cardamom and Orange Terracotta have now arrived as part of our AW26 collection.

Swipe through to see the making process and the finished pieces. ➡️

🌍 WE SUPPORT FAIR TRADE PRINCIPLES!

It’s Fairtrade Fortnight, and a good opportunity to celebrate all the brilliant brands, businesses and organisations working towards making trade fairer for the people behind the things we buy.

From the Fairtrade coffee, chocolate and bananas in our shopping baskets to clothing, homewares and jewellery, we’re always happy to support businesses putting people, planet and fair pay at the heart of what they do. 💚

At AURA QUE, our products involve a wide variety of materials, components, crafts and production processes, so our collections don’t carry Fairtrade product certification.

Instead, our approach is rooted in the Ten Principles of Fair Trade - covering areas including fair payment, good working conditions, opportunities for economically marginalised producers, transparency, respect for the environment and long-term trading relationships.

We’re very proud to be a member of — BAFTS Fair Trade Network UK, a network of independent shops and suppliers committed to Fair Trade. BAFTS provides accountability for its members through the Ten Principles of Fair Trade, helping businesses like ours demonstrate and continually develop the way we work with our producer partners. 🤝

For us, that means thinking about the people behind our products - the skilled makers we work with in Nepal, the relationships we build over the last 18 years, and how the decisions we make here in the UK affect the people making our collections.

This Fairtrade Fortnight, we’re celebrating the whole Fair Trade community and everyone working towards a fairer way of doing business. 🌿
People. Planet. Pay. Do it Fair.
