Glen Ellyn Fair Trade

Glen Ellyn Fair Trade Ten Thousand Villages in Glen Ellyn, IL, is a fair trade retailer of artisan-crafted home decor, personal accessories and gift items from across the globe.

Glen Ellyn Fair Trade, formerly Ten Thousand Villages Glen Ellyn, is a non-profit retailer that provides beautiful handmade goods from global artisans, ensuring that every maker earns a fair wage, works in safe conditions, and breaks the cycle of poverty Featuring products from more than 130 artisan groups in some 38 countries, we are part of a network of over 390 retail outlets throughout the Uni

ted States selling Ten Thousand Villages products. As one of the world’s oldest and largest fair trade organizations, Ten Thousand Villages has spent more than 60 years cultivating trading relationships in which artisans receive a fair price for their work and consumers have access to distinctive handcrafted items. We seek to establish long-term buying relationships in places where skilled artisans are under- or unemployed, and in which they lack other opportunities for income. A founding member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), Ten Thousand Villages sees fair trade as an alternative approach to conventional international trade.
