Fair Trade means exactly what it says: Fair Trade, ...goods and money are exchanged in EQUAL fair trade for consumers goods.
Fair Trade is a social movement and not a brand. - The stated goal is to help producers in developing countries achieve better trading conditions and to promote sustainability. (that means no child and slave labor or unsafe working conditions.) - oh, and it means that you know exactly where your products are coming from and how they got there! (Our store has complete profiles of all the artisans we support through our store).
It's a 'WE thing! It takes a village, a town, community, and all the folks in-between and over and around the world to make this work. ..and its working!

It’s the best way of openness having the profiles of your suppplying artisans and handworkers. The tendency of giving guarantee for Fairness by FT-marks is becoming weaker. At least here in The Netherlands words like fair, ethical, socially responsible are more and more being used by big firms without real content. And the FT-marks are too expensive for small shops like our “Molletje – Een Andere Wereld”. We are trying to document the whole chain from producer to consumer.
