We are so excited about a our new range of gorgeous hand made products made in India and Thailand. From lovely leather animal money boxes to extra large appliqued drawstring bags, all products are hand made in either Thailand or India by artisans through various fair trade organizations.
Here is an example of one such organization, Artisans Effort:
"Approximately forty-five men, working in twelve different groups are grateful to have the assurance of fair wages and continued work. Many of these employed by Artisans Effort were previously exploited and treated badly in the trade system. They are now respected, have dignity and receive a fair wage. For all these artisans and their families it is their lifeline and escape from poverty."
