Testimonials
One little world fair trade is amazing, I absolutely love everything in this store. It's my go to for gifts and extra nice things for my home. Kudos to Jodie and her team/family for creating such a warm, thoughtful and positive presence in our neighborhood. I learn something new every time I go and I can't wait to attend some of the live workshops!
I've bought a few things from One Little World that are used and enjoyed regularly in my home (exp: felt mistletoe decoration, dryer ball). Both are still in very good condition even after years of use. I also appreciate having this option to support more civil and dignified working conditions for people who create these products.
