Father | Tibetan Nomad Doll

Pa-la translates to father in the Tibetan language. Dressed in his traditional Tibetan attire called chuba with a cloth belt around the waist, hair tied up in a braid with the ornamental red tup-shu around his head, and beaded jewellery, the pa-la mini doll pays homage to the nomadic herdsmen in the vast grasslands of Tibet.

The dolls are handcrafted and shoecase Tibetan culture through diverse attire and jewellery. Each piece is handmade with Himalayan sheep wool and fabric scraps. The Tibetan Nomad Doll Set is exceptionally well-made by a fair-trade enterprise based in the valley of Dharamshala, in the Northern Indian Himalayas that employs women from the local Tibetan and Indian community. Their aim is to empower the artisans by training them in new skills and creating meaningful, income-generating, and enjoyable work opportunities within a homely and supportive environment. Additionally, they focus on creating a series of high-quality dolls inspired by Tibet’s unique culture.

Please note : Due to the use of recycled fabric, there may be a variation in colour.
