World Fair Trade Day Update

Chicago's World Fair Trade Day on Friday, May 7th, was a very successful day for us. Despite the rain, we connected with some very conscious consumers looking to help make a difference purchasing socially conscious gifts and accessories. We are grateful for their interest and support.

We also saw Maureen, from Mindful Metropolitis Magazine at World Trade Day. We are excited to be a part of the Green Gala on May 21st.

Thank you to the city of Chicago for working towards becoming more Fair Trade friendly! And an extra special thank you goes out to Nancy Jones and the staff of Chicago Fair Trade for hosting such a great event! Thank you!

World Fair Trade Day Celebration Reminder

Just wanted to remind you all that World Fair Trade Day is this coming Friday, May 7th at the Daley Plaza in Chicago see our original post for complete event details. If you live in or near the Chicago area, we'd love to meet up with you there!

We will be participating in this event with 24 other fair trade vendors. We will be selling our recycled picture frames from our Off The Street Chicago Program and our new Messenger Bags from our eco-friendly handbags from our Cambodia Line. They are made out of recycled netting. We will also have available our new selection of jewelry from Bali. All of which will make wonderful socially conscious gifts for Mother's Day, graduations and birthdays.

Here's a little video from 2009 World Fair Trade Day:
