In the aftermath of Nepal’s devastating earthquake in 2015, Dochaa was born from loss and hope. The earthquake not only claimed lives and homes but also further endangered Nepal’s cultural heritage, which was already fading. This tragedy sparked a movement. Dochaa was created to preserve and revive Nepali traditions through fashion, using local fabrics and craftsmanship to honor a culture on the brink of being forgotten. The name “DOCHAA” basically is the first type of shoes handmade by the indigenous people living in the Indo-Tibetan belt. What started as a disaster response has evolved into a brand with a mission to keep Nepal’s cultural legacy alive.
Founded in 2017 by a group of passionate dreamers, Dochaa is a brand committed to creating products that meet global quality standards in Nepal. It brings a fusion of tradition and modernity to our wardrobe and continuously seeks to improve itself through customer feedback.
The creators at Dochaa are committed to bridging the gap between our traditions and today’s youth. Incorporating traditional fabrics and their stories into people’s daily lives, Dochaa aims to rekindle Nepali youth’s love for our vibrant culture. Right now, Dochaa is based in Nepal with a growing conscious customer base and an even larger commitment towards our mission.
Dochaa connects with today’s youth, honoring artisans, promoting local fabrics, and telling the stories behind them. We are deeply committed to our creations, our customers, and the communities we cherish.
Dochaa is an ambitious initiative aiming to bridge the gulf between Nepal’s treasured traditions and today’s fast paced modern world with its locally crafted and ethically made creations.
We create wearable art that stems from the stories woven in our past. We have crafted the perfect fusion between unnoticed art and modern designs reflected in well-crafted shoes and accessories in our attempt to create products for people who appreciate Nepali culture.
Embracing individuality within our communities, Dochaa believes in each individual’s authenticity on their path towards becoming their best version. We invite people to embrace their identities and respect the ability of others to do the same. We reflect our values in creating our products that each carry the authentic self of the cultures and artisans behind it.
We value the authenticity of culture and indigeneity, reflected in the craftsmanship of our creations.
Dochaa recognizes that a community’s culture is deep-rooted in its people’s identity, and the infringement on our ability to carry forth our culture into our future erases the stories from our past. We believe in the empowerment of the communities across Nepal and utilize our platform to amplify those who have been made unable to recite their own narrative.
Dochaa is careful in its creations and works with marginalized communities to economically empower such communities.
We aim to empower people and amplify the narratives of communities whose stories remain unheard.
Dochaa’s dynamic energy is well reflected in the growth it has achieved over the years; with the company initially limited to a small room at one of the co-founder’s houses, it has now managed to transcend into much more than a brand of shoe. Dochaa is all about the stories of culture, identities, uniqueness, art, and respect for our artisans.
We are enterprising with every creation. A blend of tradition, art, and modernity to help one embody their identity.
