Frequently Asked Questions

Why Buy from Lifted Hopes.

I decided to establish the Lifted Hopes shop to give the power back to the women who overcome their circumstances on a daily basis. There is no middleman involved or a mass production plan.

My vision for Lifted Hope involves two specific elements. Firstly, I want to provide the makers of the bracelets with a decent wage and a comfortable working space. This is why I took out the middleman and decided to sell bracelets directly to the public. If the business can continue to grow I wants to employ at least 50 more women.

The second element is to bring a whole new quality to beaded bracelet designs and quality. This means coming up with new designs frequently and using only high quality beads. I also mentor and trains my team to the best of my ability.

My name is Ramila Shahi. At Lifted Hopes, me and my team hand craft these beautiful bracelets in my home shop in Nepal. For more info about my shop and my team please visit my about us page here.
