Fair Trade

​We are dedicated to adhering to the principals of Fair Trade as set forth by the Fair Trade Federation. And we require that our producers and artisans meet this same level of commitment to Fair Trade. We pay our artisans above a living wage, bonuses, and holiday pay. Some of our artisans even work from home, which provides economic stability without having to leave the family home. We personally inspect all of the workshops we work with, to ensure safe, clean and comfortable conditions. And we have an absolute zero tolerance for child labor. Following the Fair Trade principals promotes equality, provides security and advances economic freedom for the Nepali people.
