Founded by the mother-and-daughter team of Kim and Dechen Yeshi, Norlha trains Tibetan nomads to spin yaks' dense undercoats into a soft, highly durable fiber, suitable for use in the brand's collection of luxurious scarves, shawls, and blankets. Artisans learn Nepali and Indian spinning and weaving skills at the Norlha workshop in the Tibetan village of Zorge Ritoma—and through this income, reduce their reliance on traditional nomadic herding, which has previously led to the environmental problems associated with overgrazing.
