What’s So Good About Fair Trade?

Fair Trade is not just about making sure workers get a decent wage; it’s so much more than that. It’s a different business model which tackles the unfairness of conventional trade, which marginalizes producers that are poorer, making them unable to earn enough to support their families. A fair trade model will enable workers to improve their lives, educate their children and live a happier life. Fair trade also supports human rights and gives workers the right to work in a decent and safe environment, without being forced to work long hours.
Our Fair trade dolls and soft toys are made in Sri Lanka by age old traditional methods of hand looming and dyed with environmentally friendly dyes. All parts of the cotton plant is recycled and everything is locally made. The artisan and workers all live and work in their own villages, therefore they can stay close to their families.
