FAIR TRADE STORES





 

In business since 2004, Earth Divas was first known as the Hemp Sisters. Starting from the ground up, this company's owner personally travelled to Nepal to find his source for creating his current vision (and continues to travel there frequently). Providing the marketplace with fine quality, hand made, fair trade hand bags, hats, accessories and other products, this eco hippie yet modern eco collection comes from a brand that uses a wide variety of recycled fabrics too!

Ed, the owner of this fair trade store not only supports the cause, he almost is the cause - Personally visiting Nepal on a regular basis, forging personal relationships with the artisans and promoting a true sense of equally for all when it comes to fair wages and sustainability.

When you first visit Earth Divas, you quickly realize that this is more than a fair trade store selling quality handmade products from much cherished sources, this is an educational outlet for the cause as well. There is a complete section of the store that shares the entire thought process, management, and every day workings happening at Earth Divas. The store layout is slim-lined and easy for anyone to shop and browse. The only difficulty here is trying to narrow your selections down to less than 10! Seriously, the bags, backpacks and other accessories are vibrant, durable, fashionable and it is easy to realize this is a premiere fair trade store.

Focusing on practicing fair trade with artisans in Nepal, Earth Divas earned our praises on this page as THE fair trade stores winner and top pick! This decision doesn't come lightly as we have completely reviewed, purchased and vetted this company to deem it worthy of your business.

Who's Greenie?


 

Fair trade stores are quickly becoming popular. What does fair trade mean? When you consider the simple fact that most all of the articles of clothing you are wearing right now were not made in the US, also consider what it takes to make the clothing on your back. It takes more than a sewing machine that is for certain.

Fair business practices vary from country to country, region to region. Not all countries practice the same fair trade relations and law. So what is fair trade again? Simply put, it is about not taking full advantage of people to produce a product because they come from a region that does not enforce basic rights. It is about commissioning all these wonderfully talented artisans from these worldwide regions and sharing a profit with them, by paying them a fair wage. It is about ensuring that they are making these products because they want to, not because they are being forced to in some inhumane factory setting.

Fair trade should be practiced in any third world (or any struggling) country that has a product to offer to the worldwide marketplace.

While we work endlessly to provide our readers, visitors, and customers with highly rated companies that are truly eco-friendly, earth conscious, and promote and believe in fair trade, there are fair trade stores out there abusing the term fair trade. We will not and do not promote those types of companies here.

One main point we want to convey to our readers, visitors, and customers about the fair trade stores we recommend is that these are companies that outsource as much of the labor as they possibly can. Beyond purchasing goods from fair trade practices, they provide as much business to these regions as possible. NOT to remove jobs from those in this country, but to provide fair trade to those artisans who enjoy their trade and provide high quality products. We firmly believe the fair trade stores we recommend to have accreditation, dedication, and the desire to support imported goods from people who are paid a fair price, trade and the chance they need to earn a good income. These companies do not support mass produced goods from unaccredited fair trade stores and the people who work there.
