Textile Production

This year will see a slight change in our fabric production as we have chosen to natural dye the thread before being handwoven into fabric. This process takes a little more time than dyeing the finished fabric, but will provide a more even and fast colour.

The weather here in Kathmandu is fine and sunny with daytime temperatures reaching 23 degrees C, but with nighttime lows of 1 degree C.
Load shedding gives the city 9 hours a day without electricity and this is likely to increase to a possible 16 hours a day without power. Choosing to use handwoven fabric is a wise choice as only electrical lighting is effected by the power cuts. This problem can easily be overcome by the use of battery power. Tailoring factories have to rely on diesel generators to run their machines.

I will upload further news as we make continue to make progress with this year's production and look forward opening our online store for retail on the 8th March.

2010 COLLECTION

We regret to announce that sorazora will be unable to process any orders from January 9th until March 9th. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.


It is that time of year again when we will be heading to the warmth of the Himalayas to see through production of our designs. Kathmandu Valley offers impressive views of the Himalayas, but provides plenty of warm sunny days at this time of year. The tempurature difference between night and day is quite considerable and the lack of central heating should make for cold evenings, but overall it should provide a respite from the cold snap we are currently experiencing here in the UK.


We look forward to resuming business as usual after March the 9th and would once again like to wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year.
