For us, fair trade practice is operational, not a label. Concretely: (1) piece-rate pricing is negotiated with artisan groups annually and set 15–25% above the regional minimum wage; (2) payment is released within 15 days of delivery, not 60–90 days like most export chains; (3) no child labor, our workshops visibly employ adults and we do not subcontract to home-based labor where this cannot be verified; (4) women-led cooperatives receive priority sourcing, currently 70% of our hemp and 90% of our felt comes from women-led groups. We are not WFTO-certified (the fee is disproportionate to our size) but we welcome buyer audits.
