World-Shoppe.com is a destination for handmade gifts and home accent products made by artists and artisans from around the world — who are paid fair wages for their talents and skills.
"I began World-Shoppe.com to promote positive change in our neighborhoods, our country and our world," said Megy Karydes, owner of World-Shoppe.com. "It's important for all of us to work together and support these creative and talented individuals so their skills and expertise are not exploited."
The site provides items that are not only fair trade, but they cost less and are better-made than those from sweatshops. Find everything from a lacquer bowl made from bamboo by women in Thailand to handmade stationery from Bangladesh. Sources include more than 16 countries, including Vietnam and Ghana. Each product helps the creator to send children to school, build a home or buy a cow.
Additionally, creating these items helps preserve traditional craft techniques and provides critical economic empowerment to the artisans, their families and their communities. Visit www.World-Shoppe.com. |
