The Trade as One Winter Sale
January 13, 2010 @ 08:19 AM
Once a year, we cut some prices so that we can turn around and place large orders to our producers. Our goal is to provide consistent, year-round employment for our partners in the developing world, and the Winter Sale helps us to do just that. As always, our producers were paid in full for their work, we’ve just cut prices for you!
Our Winter Sale section has four main categories: Seasonal, Bags, Jewelry, and Houseware. I’m including an excerpt from the newsletter we just sent out below, so that you can get a peek at some of the items in our Winter Sale Section. If you’d like to sign up for the newsletter, you can do that by entering your email address in the box to the upper right.

Seasonal
Get ahead of the game with Holiday decorations at low prices! We have Christmas items at prices as low as $1.50. The cards, ornaments, and decorations you’ll find are all made by those wrestling with extreme poverty and its effects, and the income they earn gives them a chance to lift themselves out of poverty.

Bags
Bags from Guatemala, Cambodia, and India are made by women seeking a chance to support themselves with dignity despite the overwhelming odds they face. There’s something special about keeping your belongings safe in a bag that helps bring safety to those in desperately need. We’ve got slings, totes, pouches, clutches, purses, and more. Beautiful, trendy, fair, and affordable! Click here to see all of the Bags on sale.
