New Toys: Fair Trade Crafts From Bolivia
Your consumer choice to purchase fairly traded crafts from CraftsFromBolivia.com can make a difference to the artisans who are members of Artesania Sorata and Ayni Bolivia. Indigenous Crafts from Bolivia has a direct trading relationship with both groups. Their goal is to support these small fair trade enterprises by importing their crafts and making them available to North Americans with the idea to grow their export market and, in turn, expand their production. Increased production translates into more consistent income for more indigenous artisans.
One item that caught our attention recently is the line of knit carrying bags with a hand-painted scene on the front, with 10 animal finger puppets which snap into the painted scene. Pouches come in six themes— Arctic, Farm, Garden, Jungle, Ocean, Woods.
