FAIR Treasure sends fair trade items such as jewelry, glass wear, pottery and paper goods, to your door each month. Their goal is to make it easier for everyone to explore the very best that Fair Trade products have to offer… and in turn, providing exposure and supporting the communities of people making these treasures.
FAIR Treasure ships via USPS and generally arrives in the first half of the month.
The first look was a good one. I din’t know what everything was, but I liked what I could see.
The August 2015 FAIR Treasure was “The Nesting Box” and included the following items:
~Brass Animal Bottle Stopper ($10): One thing that I haven’t received a ton of in subscription boxes are wine bottle stoppers. So I was thrilled to see this in here. It is made in Cape Town, South Africa by Swahill Imports, which has grown into one of Africa’s biggest casting producers.
~Color Block Tea Towel: This color block tea towel is made by the artisans at Matr Boomie. I love the pattern on the towel and I love the pom-poms on it even more. Matr Boomie provides their artisans a steady, reliable, fair income and skills training to enhance their positions economically and socially.
~Fresh Flower Bud Vase ($6): This vase is made by the Association for Craft Producers (ACP) in Kathmandu, Nepal. They provide design, marketing, management, and technical services to low income Nepalese craft producers. I think the vase is very cute and hopefully it will help remind me to keep fresh flowers in the house.
I couldn’t find prices for everything online, but I really enjoyed this box. I thought the variety was great and it included a lot of very useful items.
