One of the fair trade vendors
we’re proud to carry in our online store bracelet collections is Arzu
Studio Hope. “Arzu” means “hope” in the Afghan language of Dari. Arzu Studio
Hope works with Afghanistan women weavers and their families towards a better
quality life economically. As well, Arzu helps their artisans with healthcare
and as part of their registration to work for Arzu the women weavers have to
agree to send all their children under the age of fifteen to school full time.
The women must also attend literacy classes.
Arzu is also among our vendors
which are members of the Fair Trade Federation. The Fair Trade Federation is a
community of members committed to 360° fair trade. 360° means to the FTF that work with small farmers and
artisans in partnerships built on trust.
It means good wages, safe working conditions, environmental
responsibility, and more. It means
our partners are empowered to build strong businesses for their families today
– and for generations to come.
Our bracelet and necklace
fair trade eco friendly collections are the highest quality you’ll find for
summer (or any season shopping). If you need a socially conscious, affordable
gift, you can’t do better than our selections.
