Hang a set of two Holly leaf Ornaments on your Christmas tree this year. These handmade traditional fabric ornaments have long been made in Thailand. Whether accented with sequins, cotton, or felt, this ornament has the exceptional characteristic of being made by a woman who was paid fairly for the work that she does. Each ornament is about 3 inches wide.
Working with over 60 artisan groups of diverse backgrounds and cultures from all regions of Thailand, ThaiCraft generates a fair income for village artisans while keeping alive craft traditions. create thousands of fine hand-crafted products, including jewellery, clothing, fabrics, household items, basketry, decorations, stationery, musical instruments, learning games and more.
Some groups focus on, or include, people with special needs. Some others face social, political or environmental difficulties. The rest include village cooperatives, slum projects, and small community workshops. All partners know about and are expected to follow Fair Trade practices and keep to internationally recognised standards of working behaviour and responsibility.
