I met Catherine of Kokonor in 2007 while working for Norbulingka, and we decided to get together the following year to do a few projects. The plan was for Beetle and Flor to develop an identity for her little business and work on a few designs for possible accessories. Catherine worked on her new clothing line, which includes adorable and reasonably priced clothing for women and children. All clothes are handmade by Tibetan refugees, who receive fair wages, and she has also set up a child sponsor program to insure that Tibetan kids in the community receive a good education.
