FTQ&Cs is a "social business" which adheres to "Fair Trade" principles established to support artisans in the developing world. Every product we sell was created by artisans in a "Sweatshop Free" environment. You can read more about our work and our mission and principles on the "testimonials" page. As Fair Traders, we pay artisans at least 50 percent more than they are paid within their local market. However, because we buy directly from the artisans, we are able to offer them to you at a great price.
