Sapahn is a women-owned brand that puts human rights first. They work with over 300 artisans in rural villages in Thailand. Artisan producers set their own wages for their creations. They're always paid in full once their goods have been created whether any are sold or not. And they are paid 50% of the total order when they begin production. Sapahn knows that traditional gender roles create challenges for women who want to earn a wage. That's why they work with lead artisans to make accommodations such as flexible work hours, at-home looms and excusable absences.

Ten Thousand Villages is a pioneer of fair trade. The original TTV effort (called Overseas Needlework and Craft) was founded by Edna Ruth Byler as a program of the Mennonite Central Committee. In the late 1940s, Byler traveled to Puerto Rico and met women who were unable to feed their children. She asked them if she could take their needlework art and textiles back to Ohio, sell them and send the profits back to them. Thus sparked the idea for a global maker-to-market movement. TTV is clear in its mission to break the cycle of generational poverty and ignite lasting, positive social change. At TTV, you can trust that every purchase directly impacts the life and community of its maker in a developing country.
