Welcome to The Fair Trade Gift Shop

"Everything in our fair trade gift collection has been personally selected, commissioned and purchased directly from the artist or craftsman at source in the country of origin. Any item purchased here will result in a repeat order that will directly benefit the person who created it." Fred and Maureen Wilkinson.

Fair Trade: Welcome to The Fair Trade Gift Shop and our unique range of decorative and ethnic handicrafts from around the world. Everything in our collection has been personally selected or commissioned directly from the artist or craftsman at source in the country of origin by our company World Art & Crafts.
