100% Fair Trade
Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, and the need for development is enormous. We believe that the best way to contribute to the positive development of Nepal is to create good and sustainable jobs.

egos slippers are made by the Danish company Én Gry & Sif, who since 2000 has been working on the production of felt products in Nepal.
From the very beginning, it has been important that all work should take place in fair and orderly terms and that the workers should be paid a decent salary for their work. Therefore, it was with great pleasure that the 2009 ego was certified by the World Fair Trade Organization.

Over the years, egos have been involved in various development projects in collaboration with local NGOs, such as the TEWA women organization, and DANIDA. We have also provided financial support for a orphanage in Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, as well as to workers and their families.
