SO WHY THE ELEPHANTS?

Hatti means elephant in Nepali. Elephants are extraordinary creatures with many good qualities. With their big hearts, they live in a herd and always take care of each other.
Even though elephants and tailoring do not have a lot in common we strive to use the same qualities in the way we run our organisation.
