“Outerwear is an indispensable daily uniform in the high altitude Himalayas.” [Image 7
ABODE OF SNOW means “home of the snow”, that is, the Himalayas. By modernizing their traditional and ethnic outerwear, we pay homage to all those whose ancestry lies in the beautiful mountainous region and tell the story of this unique and colorful culture and community. It was founded by Tenzin Wild and Tao Okamoto, who have been active in the global fashion industry, to convey this message.
ABODE OF SNOW uses recycled fibers and organic materials, as well as 100% recycled down and feathers, yak wool that does not involve animal cruelty in the production process, and plant-based kapok filling. As a brand, we are proud of what we have achieved so far, but we are not satisfied with the status quo and aim to create better products to protect the environment and ecosystem.
It is a fact that in the high altitude areas of the Himalayas, many people become blind due to cataracts.
Although cataracts can be treated with a 10-minute surgery and materials that cost less than $25, 17 million people go blind each year from untreated cataracts. ABODE OF SNOW donates a portion of its sales to the Himalayan Cataract Project.
