Daily, women around the world are
displaced by terrible tragedies in their lives and face a catastrophic loss of
income, especially since many are the sole supporters for their families.
Thousand are being afforded a new means in which to support their loved ones thanks
to the ever growing world-wide fair trade market. Designers and companies
around the world are now purposely employing indigenous, refugee and immigrant
women (and men) through the fair trade crafting of jewelry, home décor,
accessory and apparel items. Some of these businesses like ourselves based in
the U.S., help to provide sustainable work for these artisans from economically
disadvanted countries around the globe. The artisans often find their
employment though artisan co-ops, and companies that practice fair trade
principles providing opportunities for these talented individuals to work out
of group locations such as workshops and small factories, while others provide
them with the ability to work from home.
Visit our website to procure such
exquisite items that range from jewelry, accessories, baby and kid products,
and apparel to name a few. Now featuring in our Home Décor collection,
