About Us
Handmade products that connect us to our shared roots.
Who We Are
Keeping the handmade tradition alive
KMVCO LLC specializes in handmade products that connect us to our shared roots — to a time when there were fewer mass-produced goods, and the things people valued were made by artisans.
We seek to keep that tradition alive by specializing in handmade products that support artisans trained in time-honored methods of production, passed down from one generation to the next.
Based in Utah, USA, KMVCO LLC has had special ties to Nepal for nearly two decades, honoring a papermaking process that spans 1,000 years. Today we partner with artisans in Nepal and India, and our products reach customers through our brand, Kathmandu Valley Co.
What We Believe
Made by people, not production lines
Made by hand
We choose products shaped by skilled hands. The small variations from one piece to the next are not flaws; they are the mark of the person who made it.
Supporting artisans
Choosing handmade sustains the people who carry these skills, and gives the next generation a reason to learn them.
Rooted in tradition
Crafts like lokta papermaking have lasted for centuries because they were taught and practiced. We want to help them carry on.
