Launching this online store is reminiscent of the 'haattee' or shop in the Himalayas. A haattee is typically a small shop with wooden walls selling a few products made for use by locals, sourced fresh and created mostly by hand. This is our online version of the haattee, made with the same camaraderie and kinsmanship as its real world counterparts. Hope you enjoy your experience of shopping here with us.
Warm regards,
Him Peeps
