Giving with Responsibility
Fair Trade gifts are items crafted by experienced artisans, usually these artisans do not have a commercial retail stores but create their masterpieces in their garages or spare rooms. When you buy these gifts, be conscious that you are supporting low-income artisans and farmers with a living wage for their work.
Why these gifts have additional value for you?
No two items are identical. Their color and shape variations are considered enhancements and contribute to the uniqueness and quality craftsmanship. Since artisans have a great pride of their pieces, you should expect them using the highest quality materials available.
Think about it
Due to our connected economies our spending choices affect people's lives around the world. We don’t know for sure how many of the products we enjoy are made in conditions that harm workers, communities and the environment. In today's world economy where profits goals rule small-scale producers are left out of the bargaining process. A fair trade approach help these producers escape from this cycle and gives them a way to maintain their traditional lifestyles.
