Wrap yourself in harmonious elegance with our Tapestry collection. The gloom of darker and shorter days is cast aside as our handcrafted holiday decor pieces shine and sparkle. Transform your home into a chic yet welcoming retreat where you won’t mind staying indoors! Add an elegant and inviting atmosphere with shimmering golden accents of brass and copper, accented with glints of glass. The collection is characterized by intricate patterning and timeless beauty—the weaving of cultures represented by the tapestry motif.

Ten Thousand Villages Alexandria has been Northern Virginia's Fair Trade destination since 1994. 

We are proud to be a part of one of the oldest and largest fair trade organizations in the world. With 60 years of experience, Ten Thousand Villages is a global network of social entrepreneurs working to empower and provide economic opportunities to artisans in developing countries. A founding member of the International Fair Trade Association (IFAT), Ten Thousand Villages sees fair trade as an alternative approach to conventional international trade.

Ten Thousand Villages is now a global network of more than 130 artisan groups in 37 countries and sells product in more than 150 retail outlets throughout the United States.

Come browse our aisles of handcarved shesham wood and onyx home accents from Pakistan, blocked printed and embroidered table linens and fine beaded jewelry from India, ceramic garden pots and gold leaf paperweights from Vietnam, intricate basketry from Uganda, musical instruments from Cameroon, Peru, and Tanzania, colorful kites from Bali, and so much more, all to the global soundtrack of Putumayo CDs and the aroma of Fair Trade coffee and chocolate.
