Fair Trade

 

At Faire and Square, every item honors the skill and story of the artisan who created it. We partner with master craftspeople who carry forward centuries-old traditions—techniques passed down through generations that deserve to be preserved and celebrated. From hand-loomed textiles to carefully blended spices using ancient methods, each piece represents not just exceptional artistry, but a living cultural heritage.

What Makes Fair Trade Different

Fair trade puts artisans first. It's a dignified approach to business built on respect, partnership, and the belief that skilled work deserves fair compensation. When you choose fair trade, you're supporting:

• Fair wages that reflect true craftsmanship
• Safe, empowering working conditions
• Community investment and development
• Protection against exploitation
• Equal opportunity for women artisans
• Long-term, honest relationships
• Environmentally sustainable practices
• Preservation of traditional skills for future generations

We source exclusively from small-scale artisans, cooperatives, non-profits, and farmers throughout the world who have agreed to use Fair Trade practices. By connecting their exceptional work to new markets, we help create economic opportunity that allows talented makers to support their families with dignity while keeping precious cultural traditions alive.

Our Vision

We're part of an exciting movement, but we dream of the day when fair trade is simply the way business is done—when every purchase honors the person who made it and the traditions they carry forward.
