Son | Tibetan Nomad Doll

Norbu is the son of the nomadic family doll set. Dressed in the traditional menswear, a stark black chuba with a white woollen lining on the inside to protect him from the harsh cold winds on the grasslands. Norbu means precious gem in Tibetan. He wears a turquoise and coral necklace just like his father – it is very common for the men to also wear jewellery in Tibetan culture.

The dolls are handcrafted and showcase Tibetan culture through diverse attire and jewellery. Each piece is handmade with Himalayan sheep wool and fabric scraps. The Tibetan Nomad Dolls are 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 inspired by Tibet’s unique culture.

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