US Sherpa was founded in 2006 by Ongyel Sherpa. Born and raised in Nepal, Ongyel was given once in a life opportunity to come to Vermont by this American family. US Sherpa is an authentic Sherpa brand who produces functional, natural fiber products, handcrafted in Nepal for the active, caring and outdoor lifestyle which directly creates jobs and income for the Nepalese communities.
Purpose
US Sherpa products are hand-crafted by artisans, who use production methods that go back generations. Their strong roots in Nepal allow them to produce handmade, artisan products while practicing fair-trade and eco-friendly principles, creating sustainable jobs for economically marginalized producers, and preserving the authentic Nepalese culture.
