It’s hard to imagine a world where farmers, craftsmen and artisans in underdeveloped or less privileged countries don’t receive their fair share of income. They work hard, toiling in small, dingy workshops, in difficult conditions.

While some work hard to fashion a single bracelet or piece of clothing, others exploit them, stripping away their profits. That’s where the concept of fair trade comes in.

Rise of Ethical Fashion and Fair Trade

There are many well-meaning ethical fashion brands and stores that not only support and promote Fair Trade and ethical consumerism, but also work for the betterment of this society as a whole.

Nomad Tribe is also one such platform that supports ethical fashion stores and their message by showcasing their products on their online and in-store marketplace.

If you’re still wondering how Fair Trade supported jewelry and clothing is going to change the world, read on the advantages of Fair Trade for the world and everyone living in it.

Fair Trade Gives Back To Its Community

This is done in the form of fair trade license fees. After collecting the license fees, the fair trade community decides which part of the world will benefit most or what issue needs to be addressed next. The money is then given to the chosen.

Proper implementation of this system makes sure all workers are fairly compensated.

Fair Trade Allows Under-Privileged People a Chance

Needy people in the world are often uneducated and don’t have the necessary skills or resources to do well for themselves. This doesn’t mean they are also without ideas! They have their craft and with Fair Trade are able to get a fair price for the beautifully created jewelry.

The concept of Fair Trade helps craftsmen and artisans make a better life for themselves and their family by giving access to education, healthcare and other opportunities.

Fair Trade Promotes a Sustainable and ‘Green’ Environment      

Fair trade certified items and products don’t use any genetically modified materials in the manufacture and production process. This means the fair trade jewelry you purchase from Nomad Tribe is not only environmentally friendly but sustainable as well.

Fair Trade Cares about Prevailing Issues

Each piece of jewelry sold under the fair trade banner helps support exploited and under-privileged women, children, and men.

For example, The Brave Collection, an ethical brand promoted by Nomad Tribe donates 10% of their profits to fight human trafficking in Cambodia and helps empower Cambodian girls.

The era of fast fashion is fast declining. In the future – no, the present – shoppers are becoming more conscious about what they buy.

You too can make a difference. Purchase fair trade jewelry and clothing from Nomad Tribe.
