I love knowing that when I buy a beautiful item -- either for myself or as a gift for someone else -- I'm also helping people in a developing country put food on their table! Everything is hand-made, and the artisans have already been paid a living wage. And the service is impeccable; almost all of the staff are volunteers.

This store has such a welcoming atmosphere and the merchandise they sell is beautiful, unique and affordable. Many of the items at this store can't be found anywhere else.Their personnel is very friendly and knowledgeable, they'll help you find the perfect present at any price range.

I absolutely love Ten Thousand Village Pasadena. I always feel relaxed and coziness there. Of course, they have tons of great handmade products. The staff members are super friendly and knowledgeable about Fairtrade or the stories behind each items so I always like to talk with them. It?s great place to get some gifts for all ages :)

Welcoming, beautiful store on South Lake Ave in Pasadena--chock full of artisan-made homegoods, jewelry, accessories and clothing that's all fair trade. Great place to shop for a gift and just pop into for a visual feast while on lunch hour and you working locally. My teens enjoy coming in here as much as I do! Tons of fair trade coffee and chocolate as well.

Love this store! A favorite treat for myself is to eat macaroni and cheese on the rooftop at Granville and walk two blocks down to Ten Thousand Villages. Love picking out a new sari flower for my collection. The manager of this store is great and the help are all volunteers who give their time to support fair trade for artisans around the world.
