Safety and Comfort
Our Kokro basket and everything inside has been designed with safety and comfort in mind. The basket itself follows in the footsteps of a long Nepali tradition, with some modifications to meet the needs of the modern mother, whether she lives in an urban or rural community. By reducing the risks of co-sleeping your baby is safer and protected in their own bed.
The Bedding
The Kokro basket is made of cane and bamboo. Our mattress is made by hand from 100% raw cotton filling covered and buttoned. Care has been taken in the design of the Kokro as a perfect sleeping bed for your baby. The Kokro basket is strong enough to be hung in the traditional manner for rocking the baby to sleep. Make sure that the method used to hang the Kokro is perfectly safe and that it is as close to the floor as possible to minimise any risks.
A mustard seed pillow also follows the age old tradition by providing a support for the child's head. At birth the child's bones are very flexible and the head, in passing through the birth canal, can change shape. The mustard seed pillow provides the perfect rest for the baby's head; the seeds shift as the baby moves and maintains full support giving the head a chance to recover during the early days.
The Clothing
All of the clothing in the Kokro has been designed for maximum comfort for your baby. Our muslin covered cotton garments are the softest available giving the best protection and care of your child's skin. We know how important it is to provide the mother with easy-care solutions, and our design team at Kokroma have considered every aspect of your baby's wardrobe to be stylish, fun and practical.
We have concentrated our efforts on what we do best - providing everything we think a mother needs during the first year of the baby's life so that she can concentrate her efforts on the things she can do best - loving her baby.

Kokroma is born
2019
In early 2019 Kokroma was born with just two staff engaged in product development and manufacturing. It was an exciting time, a time of discovery, exploration and fun - exactly the same feeling that new parents experience on the birth of their first child.
The Nepali Bhoto Set for New Born was our first product and still remains one of our all time favourites.
Summer 2018 - kokroma is conceived

Taking inspiration from the Finnish Baby Box, Kokroma created the first Nepali version of the Baby Box complete with dozens of items for mother and child. Read Our Story Here

all made in nepal
eco-friendly
Most of the fabrics we use are woven by prisoners in Nepal. These fabrics are made to a very high standard and the quality of workmanship is some of the highest in the country.
By using textiles made in state prisons, Kokroma is promoting the work of prisoners who have been taught weaving skills, providing them with an income to support their families back home.
all women taylors
Fair Pay for Women Tailors
Kokroma is small scale production focused on quality with women who take pride in their
work and have the opportunity of flexible hours; working to their own clock. This allows greater access to employment for those who have a lack of mobility and space.
When you buy from Kokroma you will bring joy and economic benefits to all of these artisans at the same time as adding great value to your child's healthcare.
a summer of inspiration
finland
The idea of Kokroma came after our founder, Rewati Gurung attended the University of Helsinki Summer School, “Gender, Culture and Politics” in 2015.
As part of the course, she learnt about the Finnish Baby Box and the benefits that have been brought to Finnish society. Then, after years of research in handicraft and social entrepreneurship in Nepal, finally Kokroma was born. We aim to revive the authentic traditional Nepali infant clothing and its indigenous knowledge regarding baby care
with a contemporary design aesthetic by adopting the basic principles of the Finnish Baby Box.
