Enrich your life with handcrafted treasures. Using nature’s palette, skilled artisans craft beauty from the earth in hand-formed clay pieces, carved wood and hand-woven natural fibers. Reclaimed wood, rough-cut stone and natural fibers bring a tactile connection to elemental earth. Creating these pieces in turn enriches artisans’ lives, as they are able to better achieve their goals, support their families and preserve longstanding artistic skills and traditions.
Ten Thousand Villages in Pasadena, CA, is a fair trade retailer of artisan-crafted home decor, personal accessories and gift items from across the globe. Featuring products from 131 artisan groups in some 38 countries, we are part of a network of 156 retail outlets throughout the United States selling Ten Thousand Villages products.
As one of the world’s oldest and largest fair trade organizations, Ten Thousand Villages has spent more than 60 years cultivating trading relationships in which artisans receive a fair price for their work and consumers have access to distinctive handcrafted items. We seek to establish long-term buying relationships in places where skilled artisans are under- or unemployed, and in which they lack other opportunities for income. A founding member of IFAT- the World Fair Trade Organization, Ten Thousand Villages sees fair trade as an alternative approach to conventional international trade.
