Artisan Profile

This group focuses on both Fair Trade principles and a deep commitment to using sustainable, eco-friendly materials. Each scarf represents more than just a beautifully crafted textile; it symbolizes the transformative power of Fair Trade practices and the positive impact it has on the lives of the artisans. By supporting small artisan groups, you contribute to the creation of vital job opportunities, particularly for women and those who are physically challenged.

Through their involvement in the Fair Trade initiative, the artisans not only earn a steady income, but also constantly expand their skill set. They are provided with regular training and support to ensure that they are equipped with the latest technical skills and knowledge. This commitment to continuous learning empowers them to flourish in their craft, ultimately fostering self-reliance and a sustainable livelihood while preserving their Indian traditions.
About the Brand

"SLATE + SALT's mission is to bring you a curated collection of modern, one-of-a-kind pieces while preserving traditional techniques and supporting the Fair Trade movement. We work closely with small social enterprises to facilitate dignified working opportunities in areas of extreme poverty. We encourage you to explore other cultures and traditions in a socially conscious way.

What you wear and how you chose to shop says a lot about who you are. As a socially conscious buyer you are positively impacting the world by enabling rural artisans in underdeveloped nations to support their families and continue to live in their own communities. When you purchase ethically produced goods you are helping to break the cycle of poverty by supporting programs that empower women entrepreneurs and educate children. Fair trade restores dignity to the artisans and assists women to become role models to their communities. The economic empowerment gives them the opportunity to stay in their villages and they will be less likely to migrate to urban areas. All products you purchase have an impact on the social change of our world."
