Set of 6 Hand Crocheted Spotted Dog Ornaments- Fair Trade, Armenia

-

This collective was started with seed funding from Save the Children to create jobs and help promote Armenian crafts. The project now employs over 600 women who were previously without work in Armenia’s struggling economy. They enjoy a safe work environment and earn a living wage with a respect for their cultural traditions. Their expert sewing work can be seen in the quality of our products.

In small workshops around the globe, skilled artisans bring these whimsical designs to life.  They have been working the same artisan groups for over 10 years and have developed long-term, committed partnerships that help promote sustainable income, environmental awareness, and greater economic equality.  They pay fair prices in the local context, offer fair credit terms and prompt payment; they promote safe and healthy workplaces and respect cultural diversity.
