It is nonetheless hampered by several difficulties that threaten to slow progress or reverse gains achieved thus far. The sector is largely affected by the same problems troubling the country as a whole. Fragile political and economic environments, inadequate infrastructure, geographical challenges, and dependency on imported raw materials all play a role in keeping development to a minimum. To mitigate the effects of these external factors, manufacturers of fashion accessories rely on solid design expertise rooted in traditional methods and aesthetic elements derived from the local culture. In addition, they provide comparatively lower quotes and have smaller minimum order requirements. Key findings 1. Suppliers of fashion accessories generally expect to keep prices stable in the next six months in an effort to ensure competitiveness and attract repeat orders. Some companies intend to raise quotes, however, due to the rising cost of raw materials. 2. The strong influence of unionized labor is the most critical challenge facing the sector and Nepal, in general. Work stoppage due to strikes and other reasons regularly occurs in the country. Suppliers implement a number of wayss to cope but each has its own n drawback that results in undesirable rable conditions condition for the company, nonunion workers or the economy omy at large. e l p 3.

In spite of the sector’s small size and underdeveloped status, outbound shipments since fiscal year 2007-2008 have been generally on an upward trend, with revenue last year reaching $42 million. An improvement of 33 percent, this is the highest growth rate posted by the segment over that span of time. The industry has expanded by an average of 8 percent from 2007 to 2012 despite recording fluctuations within much of the period and contracting nearly 12 percent in 20092010 due to the global economic crisis. companies employ underprivileged women. The segment is enjoying unprecedented demand for pashmina shawls and scarves, felt, knitted, cotton, velvet and silk bags and wallets, hats, and jewelry. Traditional designs unique to the local culture are the driving force behind this development.
