About Ten Thousand Villages
Every item on the shelf comes with a story about the artisan who made it — that's the model here, a fair-trade retailer built around handcrafted home goods and jewelry sourced from cooperatives in the developing world. It's less about chasing trends and more about pieces that feel handmade because they are.
Prices run higher than mass-market home goods, which reflects the fair-trade sourcing model rather than markup for markup's sake. The 60-day return window is generous compared to most specialty retailers, giving you real time to decide if a piece fits your space before committing.
What they sell
- Handwoven baskets and textiles
- Fair-trade jewelry from global artisans
- Hand-carved wood home decor
- Ceramic and ceramic-glaze kitchenware
- Artisan-made gifts and accessories
