These products are always fair trade, made in ethical working conditions, where our female artisan partners are paid 2-3x minimum wage plus health insurance and educational scholarships.  
They're striving to be as eco-friendly as a consumer-driven brand can be. Nearly all their products are made from recycled materials, and they offset their carbon footprint by funding and supporting anti-climate change initiatives with their artisan partners around the world.
They source all materials in the local communities where their products are handmade. This stimulates the local economy, and promotes the fun challenge of figuring out how to work with foreign recycled materials.
