Items to give you a warm glow in the colder months

Sherpa Adventure Gear Hima Handwarmer

Featuring a chunky crochet design, these fabulous mitten-style handwarmers – that keep your fingertips free – are great for the chillier weather. The outer is made from lambswool, while the soft ‘Polarfleece’ lining is designed to wick away moisture. The handwarmers are handcrafted by small groups of women in Bhaktapur just outside Nepal – and a proportion of the proceeds from every sale goes towards providing education for Nepalese children. An attractive, effective and ethical product.
