Handmade Expressions
Handmade Expressions is a sourcing partner for socially and environmentally responsible products, based in Austin, Texas. We work with about 5,000 underprivileged/disadvantaged artisans in India and strive to improve their economic and social standing by creating self-sustainable employment following fair trade practices.
We partner with over 30 grass-root level NGOs/ artisan cooperatives and help them create high quality, trendy, hand-crafted goods that are tailored for international markets. We empower the artisans with market and fashion information that allow them to create functional products. At the same time, we encourage them to use natural fibers and recycled material wherever possible. We then partner with retailers and socially responsible non-profits across North America to provide them with these high quality products for conscious consumers.
