Welcome to our global maker-to-market movement where, together with 20,000 artisans, we ignite social change. We create opportunities for individuals, families, and communities in developing countries to thrive through strong relationships, fair wages, safe working conditions, and sustainable practices.
We think scarves work in just about any weather. They can have a place in every climate-even the desert! Handwoven viscose featuring two shades of teal in a stripe and diamond pattern, The Desert Journey Scarf is incredibly soft and light, making it the perfect accessory for a balmy summer night, cool office or even a chilly airplane. The Fair Trade Egypt artisan group works to provide support for independently operating workshops throughout Egypt in the midst of political unrest. By helping makers market their craft, cultural traditions are preserved and upheld.
