Ethical Fashion and Fair Trade

“Companies like Trades of Hope pave the way for people in other parts of the world to receive an income for artisanal products. From dangling earrings to handbags, it provides women with an array of eclectic accessories that compliment an everyday style. In return, thousands of women around the world have received the benefit of an income to support their families and rise above poverty.”

Make a Real Impact On Real Lives

Kannika is leading her family out of poverty in Thailand by using her skills of traditional crafts, like handcrafting tassel earrings.

“I’ve been sewing, knitting, and creating fashions for over ten years. The income I earn pays for our children to go to school.” – Kannika

“During the day, I take care of our home and work while the kids are in school. Training and working at home also help us save money because I don’t have to travel far away to find work. Your purchase helps us keep our kids in school and our family together.”

– Kannika, Fair Trade Earring Artisan in Thailand
