UNIQUE ARTISANS
Many of our bags are created by a talented group of artisans
specializing on the stitching of bags and other items. It’s a small
collective of approximately 25 artisans from the urban areas of the
colorful land of Rajasthan. Both men and women work together in the
organization.
Many of the artisans start working when they are
young and full of energy. The organization aims to guide them and help
them achieve a better future. They are given training on stitching, the
specific art that allows them to work with the group for a long time.
Fair Trade helps these artisans get fair wages as well as work in a
fair and comfortable working environment. They are constantly given
design help so they can have up to date products that appeal to a North
American market, ensuring that they have sustained employment.
