Fairly Traded Handicrafts from Around the World

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 110 artisan groups in 35 countries and 78 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.
