A closer look at materials, making, care, and the people and places behind CAAPPA.
Craft
A finished textile begins long before the final press or fold. Material selection sets the character of the piece; weaving or knitting creates structure; dyeing and finishing shape its color, handle, and surface. Different designs can call for different production methods, which is why CAAPPA treats handloom and modern machinery as tools rather than opposing ideas.
Care
Fine natural fibres benefit from gentle treatment. Air pieces between wears, keep them clean and dry before long storage, and fold them rather than leaving them on a hanger for extended periods. Follow the care label on the exact piece for washing or cleaning, and avoid aggressive heat, friction, or harsh detergents.
Kathmandu
CAAPPA began on Mandala Street in Kathmandu in 2013. The brand’s story is tied to Nepal not only through location, but through the knowledge, production, relationships, and customer experience that have shaped the business over time.
