• Develop both commercial/basic products and signature collection pieces.
• Research international fashion, textile and winterwear trends.
• Conduct domestic market research and develop designs that are commercially viable and achievable with available resources.
• Support merchandising and product development for upcoming retail stores.

• Degree/Diploma in Fashion Design, Textile Design or an equivalent field.
• 2–5+ years of relevant experience in fashion, textile, knitwear or related design; strong candidates with less experience may be considered based on portfolio and technical skills.
• Strong practical knowledge of knitting, weaving, stitches, textures and garment construction.
• Good understanding of measurements, proportions and fit.
• Ability to develop designs that are both creative and production-ready.
• Experience working with wool, cashmere or other natural fibres is highly preferred.

What We Offer

Working Days: 3 days per week
Salary: NPR 20,000/month, depending on experience

Note

Hands-on knowledge of both woven and knitted products is essential. This position is specifically for a designer capable of working with production teams and developing manufacturable products, rather than a fashion illustrator or concept-only designer.
