Artisan Life was established in 2004 with the purpose of
promoting Colombian artisans and their craft by
commercialising unique handcrafted jewellery and fashion
accessories. All of our products are sourced on a Fair
Trade basis using natural and sustainable materials.
Our mission is to provide Colombian artisans with
opportunities to expand beyond their local markets while
striving for the sustained development of the environment
and the progress of artisan communities. Our efforts focus
on improving the artisans’ quality of life by fostering
professional development, while promoting artisan crafts
as a profitable income generation alternative. In Colombia,
handcrafts continue to provide an important source of
income, especially for women who have limited options
for productive employment. Many of our suppliers have
established employment programmes exclusively for
women who are also the main providers of their households.
Artisan Life is a member of the World Fair Trade Organization
In the next weeks and months we will be changing our website to reflect our new status. We will also be selling off all of our merchandise on auction from eBay/World of Good. If you are a wholesaler and are interested in carrying this incredible jewelry, please contact me at lisa@bluepeoplefairtrade.com.
