MODERNO

OUR STORY

Founded on the principles of preserving Nepali craftsmanship while embracing modern design.

MODERNO founder

The Beginning

MODERNO was founded in 2019 by a young Nepali entrepreneur with a vision to showcase the beauty of traditional Nepali textiles and craftsmanship to the world. Growing up surrounded by the rich textile heritage of Nepal, our founder was inspired to create a brand that would honor these traditions while making them relevant for the modern consumer.

What began as a small collection of handwoven scarves has evolved into a comprehensive range of clothing and accessories, each piece thoughtfully designed and ethically produced in Nepal.

Today, MODERNO continues to work directly with local artisans, ensuring fair wages and preserving traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations.

Our Values

At MODERNO, we believe in honoring tradition while embracing innovation. Our designs celebrate the intricate patterns and techniques of Nepali textiles, reimagined for contemporary wardrobes.

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We work with natural, locally-sourced materials and traditional, low-impact production methods that have been used in Nepal for centuries.

We value community and are committed to supporting the livelihoods of Nepali artisans. By choosing MODERNO, you're not just buying a garment – you're supporting a sustainable ecosystem of craft and culture.
