    about the artisan

    Ms.Ruth is a one little world artisan partner but also a single mother to three boys.  She regularly visits the local bars and storefronts in town to gather bottle caps, which she later and upcycles into these unique hot mats.  Using remnants of kitenge cloth, Ms. Ruth bundles the cloth around the bottlecap and stitches the kitenge in place.  She then sews each kitenge bottlecap together to create her finished product.

    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.
