Komodo has been working with the same factories in Nepal since the early 1980′s, and we are passionate about our involvement with the Free Tibet campaign.
Komodo have collaborated with Free Tibet on a number of projects including the ‘Free Tibet’ sneaker.
We are committed to increasing the UK’s awareness of what is happening in Nepal.
For those of you who don’t know what’s going on …
In Nepal, the Tibetan community, half of whom hold Nepali citizenship and half of whom are very long term refugees are being subjected to night time house to house raids and searches, random arrests, kettled in their districts and prevented from moving freely in the city, prevented from voting, demonstrating and flying their flag. Their leaders are detained to avoid them meeting foreign diplomats, and the refugees, indeed anyone of them without perfect paperwork ( even if they lived here all their lives ) are threatened with deportation to a chinese labour camp.
The few who do manage to escape the trauma of occupied Tibet over the himalayas to seek sanctuary in Nepal are hunted down and returned to the Communist guards for a financial kick back!
So, how does this tally with the Chinese governments mantra that one nation should not ‘ interfere in the Internal affairs of another’?
Show you support with the Komodo ’Free Tibet’ sneaker. By wearing these sneakers you are demonstrating your solidarity with the Tibetan people in their peaceful struggle for freedom, 10% of each sale goes to Free Tibet.

We had a fun night last night catching up with some lovely bloggers at our Winter Wonderland party, check out our pictures below. It was a bit of a girly night with make-up artists Debs and Carol making us all look beautiful using make-up from Essential Care.
Our Winter Wonderland was a hit, with pink trees and mountains, sparkling lights and lots and lots of snow – it was picture perfect for all those who dressed up in our fabulous Autumn Winter 2011 collection! People loved our knits and accessories and the cozy Manchu Coats were the hero piece of the night! Other favourites were the Penelope Dress, our bodycon lambs wool dress which is ultra stylish but will keep you warm through the winter months, and the Rana Dress, as well as all the Navajo pieces.
Our friends at The Organic Spirits Co kindly donated organic and fairtrade drinks for our warming hot toddies. And sausages for the yummy hot dogs were from the lovely folk over at the Good Little Company. Thank you to all the sponsors who made it a night to remember!
If you didn’t manage to make it last night, and you’d like to visit the Komodo Winter Wonderland, we will be taking it to the Clothes Show at the Birmingham NEC from the 2nd to the 7th of December, hope to see you there!
Chase away your winter blues with Komodo.
Join us in a fantasy Winter Wonderland to celebrate the best that winter has to offer – from hot chocolate and snuggly knitwear, to snow covered mountains!
We look forward to seeing you there!
