About Us

An earthquake forged a business.

Ramesh Pathak & Vincent Willas first met in Kathmandu six months before the devastating Nepali earthquake of 2015.  In its aftermath, Nepali artisans struggled for years in the absence of tourism and travel to Nepal.

Now fast friends, and bridging the time difference between Chicago and Kathmandu, we teamed up in 2017 to promote the world-class talent and craftsmanship of living Nepali artists – continuing the tradition, legacy, and heritage of Nepali art.

Nepal Arts & Crafts aims to offer only the very best of Nepali crafts at reasonable prices.  And if there is a special item you are searching for, be sure to reach out to us.  Our Customers regularly commission or ask us to source special pieces for them.

No matter where our Customers are in the world, our prices always include international express shipping from Kathmandu. We welcome the opportunity to serve you and share our passion for Nepali crafts.
