Shopping isn’t just about what you buy, it’s about the experience. Around town, four unique shops are turning everyday browsing into moments of inspiration, with homegrown designs and stories that make each visit unforgettable.

LaMuse Clothing – Confident, Ambitious, Unstoppable

Founded in 2020 by then 20-year-old fashion student Larisha K.C, LaMuse Clothing was created to challenge the exploitative and environmentally harmful practices of the fashion industry. Inspired by the French word “muse,” the brand draws creativity from its customers, celebrating individuality beyond gender, size, or status.

LaMuse offers sustainable, high-quality, and affordable wardrobe essentials designed and made in Nepal, supporting local artisans and contributing to community growth. Their vision is to make sustainable fashion stylish, accessible, and empowering for everyone.

Yatra Shoes – A Journey in Every Step

Launched in 2023 by two friends during their final year of college, Yatra Shoes was born from a shared love for empowerment, entrepreneurship, and craftsmanship. Specializing in women’s footwear – mules, heels, slippers, and wedges – each pair is handmade by skilled local artisans, blending timeless style with comfort.

Committed to slow fashion, Yatra focuses on creating pieces that last beyond one season. The founders’ journey began during lockdown, dedicating time to research, design, and material sourcing to ensure their shoes are as beautiful as they are comfortable.
