About Gitzell FairTrade

We are a BIPOC, woman-owned, home decor brand at the intersection of fair trade and smallholder farming. As proud members of the Fair Trade Federation, Gitzell FairTrade works directly with women weavers in Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Senegal and Uganda to produce hand woven baskets for decor, shopping and storage. Many of the weavers are smallholder farmers who weave in the evening and during the off-season, after finishing household chores. The sale of woven goods generates supplemental income with which these women improve the livelihood of their families. In addition, the sale of woven goods contributes substantially to the economic viability of small holder farming, helping women farmers remain in control of their farmland. Read their story
