At Rochambeau Home, every product tells a story—a story of artisans whose craftsmanship transcends borders and whose work embodies resilience, tradition, and hope. One of the partnerships I hold most dear is with Ten Thousand Villages, a nonprofit fair trade organization empowering artisans worldwide since 1946.
Empowering Artisans Through Fair Trade
Ten Thousand Villages works with over 120 artisan groups in more than 35 countries, providing fair wages, safe working conditions, and a platform to share their crafts globally. Many artisans come from under-resourced communities, where access to markets and opportunities is limited. By offering their products at Rochambeau Home, I’m able to share their unique, handcrafted creations while supporting a system that values people over profits.
Crafted with Purpose
The artisans behind these pieces put so much heart and skill into what they create. From hand-carved olive wood to beautifully woven textiles from Nepal, each item carries its own history and character. These aren’t just decor pieces—they’re small works of art that honor tradition, culture, and the hands that made them.
Why I Choose These Products
I believe in conscious consumerism that makes a difference. By carrying Ten Thousand Villages pieces, I offer you the chance to shop with intention. Every purchase supports:
-
Fair Wages: Ensuring artisans earn what their skill and dedication deserve.
-
Sustainable Practices: Promoting environmentally conscious production.
-
Cultural Preservation: Keeping traditional crafts alive for future generations.
-
Community Empowerment: Supporting education, healthcare, and opportunity in artisan communities.
