About
Ten Thousand Villages in Ann Arbor, MI, is a locally owned, non-profit, fair-trade retailer of artisan-crafted home decor, personal accessories, clothing, and gift items from across the globe. We feature products from more than 20,000 artisans in over 20 countries. We are part of a network of stores selling Ten Thousand Villages products throughout the U.S. As one of the world’s oldest and largest fair-trade organizations, Ten Thousand Villages has spent more than 75 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) and the Fair Trade Federation, Ten Thousand Villages sees fair trade as an alternative approach to conventional international trade. Ten Thousand Villages of Huron Valley opened its doors on Main Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan in October 2004, becoming the first Fair Trade, non-profit handicraft retail store in the city. The Ann Arbor store is proud to rank as one of the most successful stores in a chain of over 40 stores in the U.S.
