We believe fair trade is a simple way of saying "I want to be part of a system that works for people and the planet!" It includes fair wages, and working conditions to how the products are made and respecting the culture of each country. It is the key to greater justice, dignity, and equity in global commerce.

we have four key values we follow:

1. we know our artisans

2. we aspire for what's good, just, and fair

3.we love our planet

4.a unique quality product

I travel to visit our artisan partners and maintain personal relationships. I look for new partnerships in current and new countries whenever I travel. In 2023, we established over 25 new partnerships meeting face to face.

part of forming partnerships with our artisans is truly getting to know them, their families, and their communities. almost daily, I have conversations with my artisans, some of whom I've known for many years.

Our artisan partners set their own pricing, and we pay in full upfront regardless of how the items sell through One Little World. We pay a 50% deposit before work begins, and the remaining 50% before the product is shipped.

We value the environment in which each of our artisan partners lives, and aim to use only sustainably gathered materials available to each of the communities. Some of those materials include felt, mugavu wood, kitenge fabric, raffia grass, banana fiber, acacia wood, and barkcloth.

Co-creation is the basis of our artisan partnerships so we can establish lasting relationships. Frequent communication, collaboration, and feedback allow us to co-develop products that sell, leading to reorders and long-term success.
