Improving the livelihood of disadvantaged artisans through Fair Trade practices

Products by Handmade Expressions will help to promote an image of social responsibility, for your store, while contributing toward improving the lives of others. Partnering with grass-roots NGO artisan cooperatives, Handmade Expressions assists underprivileged and disadvantaged artisans around the world, guiding them to create high quality, trendy, handcrafted goods tailored for international markets. Many of these global communities are rich with local, traditional art forms, but lack the knowledge of and access to markets. The art forms produced are native to the artisan’s region, and utilize natural fibers and recycled materials wherever possible. Handmade Expressions’ mission is to create a global community for sharing traditional, rural artwork with urban cultures, across the world, preserving beautiful art forms and providing a dignified social standing for the artisans. Fair Trade is a growing trend in the United States and conscious buyers are demanding more and more fairly traded products and green goods from their local stores and chains. Handmade Expressions’ socially and environmentally responsible product line can be viewed at Handmade Expressions BAOlink premium vendor listing.
