From women recyclers in Gambia to small cocoa farmers in the Dominican Republic, Fair Trade brings you closer to the products you eat, wear, and absolutely adore. |
Fair Trade & Earth Friendly Accessories
By creating accessories with cotton or jute rather than synthetic materials such as polyester, we invite you to become a responsible shopper as you rediscover the comfort of natural fibers. Our fair trade jackets, hair bands, scarves and wallets from Nepal are also made from natural fibers such as recycled cotton, recycled silk and hemp.
Ethically-Sourced Artisan Jewelry
Our new line of Gambian locally-sourced silver is a line created by Samba Bach. Investing in finished products, rather than simply raw materials, we are committed to the highest form of economic empowerment for union silver workers and silversmiths in this West African nation. Fair Trade ensures that artisans are paid a fair, living wage, often 10 times or more above their country's minimum wage.
Reduced, Reused & Recycled Handmade Crafts
We reduce woodcarver's dependence on forest-cut wood by supporting smaller carvings, often which are made from scrap wood or reclaimed wood from older carvings or benches. Also, our carvers and women's groups in Africa are now turning to alternative media for their art - recycled trash! Cans, flip-flops, sawdust, magazines, plastic bags, and bottle caps are among some of the components they recycle creatively to make unique, fair trade and green gifts for you to enjoy!
Fair Trade Artisan Earring Wood Displays
Our lovely line of artisan earring and ring displays are popular among women, jewelry makers, and fair trade stores. They not only organize and display earrings, but make a functional gift for a practical woman in your life. Each purchase benefits individual craftspeople in India through ASHA handicrafts, a non-profit association.
Exquisite Onyx Stone Carvings from Pakistan
From the mountains of the Afghanistan/Pakistan border, huge calcite blocks of onyx stone are transformed into candleholders, nativity sets, pears, and animals by carvers of Dominion Traders. Our complete line can be seen and purchased (retail or wholesale) in the online store.
