Catherine Rising's Hand Rolled Rope Incense is fair trade, from Nepal. It is created in small batches, hand made by women artisans, who keep ancient techniques and practices alive. The bundles are wrapped in their Rochester, NY studio.

Every bundle has a unique look, no two are exactly alike. Each one is wrapped in green vintage yarn and fabric that is purchased from a local non-profit which sells vintage and deadstock sewing and crafting materials, where proceeds go back to the community, providing sewing and textile-based classes, as well as job training.
