Why We Love It

The global fair trade movement seeks to strengthen and promote equitable and sustainable trading partnerships. The goal of these partnerships is to create opportunities and alleviate poverty around the world.  Conditions of the Fair Trade designation include fair prices, fair labor conditions, direct trade, transparent organizations, community development, and environmental sustainability. Buying fair trade products ensures the production of your goods has had a positive impact on people and the planet. This set is made from recycled newspaper combined with pure cotton fibers.

Ethically Produced

Products made outside the US that have been handpicked from companies that employ fair wage and labor practices, as well as small-scale sustainable production methods. Profits from the sale of these products directly benefit the local artisanal communities where goods are made.

Recycled

Made from old materials that have been collected, sorted and processed into raw material. The recycling stream uses what would otherwise become waste to make new products, reducing the consumption of virgin resources and the pollution generated with waste disposal.

Fair Trade Certified

TransFair USA, a non-profit organization, is the only independent, third-party certifier of Fair Trade products in the U.S. Fair Trade is a social movement and market-based approach that aims to guarantee producers and farmers minimum floor prices and additional premiums for certified organic products. The fundamental tenants include: fair labor conditions, direct trade, democratic and transparent organizations, community development and environmental sustainability.
