Wallyhood welcomes our newest sponsor, Fair Trade Winds, a family-owned marketplace for meaningful, handmade goods in Wallingford Center. We asked Emily of Fair Trade Winds to introduce herself:
Fair Trade Winds is a family owned fair trade retail store, and has loved calling Wallingford home since we opened in September 2011 in the Wallingford Center. We are a marketplace for meaningful, handcrafted goods made by smaller artisan cooperatives from all corners of the globe. It has been a joy to meet so many customers who find us just because they live in the neighborhood and are strolling by, and we look forward to meeting more of you!
We pride ourselves on being a store where people can travel the world just by walking through our doorway and find something for themselves and for everyone on their list. Customer favorites include a large selection of fair trade, organic tea, one-of-a-kind jewelry, hand-embroidered bags and belts, organic baby rattles, totes & wallets made of up-cycled tire tubes and mosquito net, whimsical greeting cards, olive wood bowls and servers, and block printed table linens. Please stop by for a visit, we would be happy to show you around!
As members of the Fair Trade Federation of North America, Fair Trade Winds and its suppliers are fully committed to fair trade. This commitment assures full transparency in the supply chain, that artisans are paid promptly and fairly, and that their rights are valued. Members also promote cultural identity and encourage environmentally sustainable practices. Our customers are an integral part of this global, cooperative effort.
Welcome Emily and Fair Trade Winds.
Oh, and they’re having a sale through August 4th. Stock up!
