Welcome to The Purple Bow, your marketplace for the finest selection of Fair Trade goods from around the world.

Fair Trade Organizations seek to empower the world’s poorest by paying a wage which allows them to cover their basic needs.  Even as one individual, you can make a difference in the lives of many small-scale  farmers and artisans living in poverty.

In order to bring you the widest selection, many of our items ship from our sister affiliate sites and you will be brought to those sites when you add an item to your cart. We stand behind every product featured here and welcome your questions and comments. (Contact Us)

Every purchase we make has an impact on the world. Purchases based on Fair Trade products create demand for a fairer world by showing we value not just a “product”  — but also the lives of the people behind it.
