Fashion from The Heart

Meeting the Makers Behind Our Sustainable Clothing

At Gecko Gearz, we believe in sustainability, and ethical production of our garments. Penny travels to Nepal on a yearly basis where she has the incredible opportunity to meet with the talented artisans who create our unique, handcrafted products. 

A Journey of Connection and Craftsmanship

Penny's trips to Nepal are more than just a travel experience – it is a deep dive into the heart of our supply chain. She visits local workshops and meets with the artisans who use traditional techniques to craft the beautiful, sustainable clothing we offer. This personal connection with the makers behind our products reinforces our commitment to ethical fashion and supports the incredible work being done by these talented individuals. 

Who Makes Our Products?

One of the things we’re most proud of at Gecko Gearz is knowing exactly where and how our products are made. Penny’s visit allowed us to strengthen these relationships and further understand the care and craftsmanship that go into each piece. From handwoven fabrics to detailed embroidery, our artisans bring years of skill and dedication to every item. Whether it’s the softness of organic cotton or the intricate block prints, Penny got to see firsthand the passion and pride that goes into each piece of clothing.

Sustainability and Fair Trade: Our Promise

In Nepal, Penny spends time learning about the sustainable practices these artisans follow – from using eco-friendly materials to minimizing waste. We partner with local suppliers who are committed to fair trade, ensuring that the artisans are paid fairly and work in safe, supportive environments. Our goal is to create clothing that not only looks good but also feels good – knowing that it was made with care, respect for the environment, and respect for the people who bring it to life. 

Meet the Makers: The Faces Behind Our Products

During her trips, Penny meets with the skilled individuals who handcraft every garment. From the woman who carefully blocks prints to the artisan who embroiders each detail, each person plays a crucial role in bringing our designs to life. We’re thrilled to introduce these artisans to you, and share their stories of dedication, passion, and artistry. By purchasing our products, you’re supporting these artisans and their families, and contributing to the slow fashion movement that prioritizes quality, longevity, and sustainability. 

Why This Matters to Us (and to You)

At Gecko Gearz, we don’t just want to sell you clothing – we want to build a community of conscious consumers who care about the story behind their purchases. Penny’s journeys to Nepal is a reminder that the clothes we wear are not just fabric – they’re the result of hard work, creativity, and dedication. When you shop with us, you’re not only getting unique, ethically made fashion, but also supporting a sustainable and fair trade supply chain that makes a real impact in the lives of those who make our products.
