Fair Trade Quilts and Crafts
All of our quilts and many of our ceramic products, tapestries and tablecloths are supplied to us by Fair Trade Quilts and Crafts.
Fair Trade Quilts & Crafts is a "social business" which adheres to "Fair Trade" principles, established to support artisans in the developing world. Every product that Fair Trade Quilts and Crafts sells was created by artisan co-ops or individual artisans in a "Sweatshop Free" environment.
As Fair Traders, it pays artisans 35 to 50 percent more than they are paid within their local market. Additionally, Fair Trade Quilts and Craft's intent is to preserve traditional methods of hand weaving while providing a steady and fair income to the artisans. The organization also supports programs that benefit the lives of poor women in rural Guatemala. Fair Trade Quilts and Crafts donates part of its income to the ADIMH Rural Development Organization which provides business and computer training to indigenous women.
