Fair Trade Federation Principles - partnering with Guatemalan families, artisan groups, and cooperatives to produce and develop their quality handicrafts and accessories. Globally, many artisans have little opportunity to market their products. Working side by side with Guatemalan artisans helps improve their economic well being, enabling them to earn a living wage in a region where there are few opportunities to do so. Through direct collaboration with artisans, we are able to design products that are not only fashionable, modern, and functional but embrace traditional Mayan design. By committing to the Fair Trade Federation Principles we believe we can make a difference in the lives of artisans one purchase at a time, while bringing awareness to the beauty of Guatemalan art and culture.
