Fair Trade Wholesale & Custom Products
Handmade Expressions is first and foremost a wholesaler of fair trade products. We work with artisan cooperatives in India by providing them with design help and educating them about what sells in North America. We then import different types of goods and distribute them to retailers in North America.
Because we work so closely with the artisans, we have developed the capability of customizing any of our products and even building products from scratch. Contact us at design@handmadeexpressions.net for more information about the customizable options.
The following is a list of all the product categories we currently carry:
| Product Category | Description |
|---|---|
 Fair Trade Bags |
Browse through our selection of tote bags, shopping bags, sling bags, purses, coin bags and cosmetic cases, among other types of bags. The designs lean more towards contemporary, yet the artwork used is many generations old. East met West as much as the classic met the modern. |
 Fair Trade Home Decor |
Home Decor is our newest category, yet we have been successful with it. It is an area where we have successfully used traditional arts such as batik, wood-block printing and "kashida" weaving to create modern-looking products. |
 Fair Trade Scarves |
Whether they're made of cotton, wool or silk, our Fair Trade scarves are sure to impress you with their beautiful designs and great feel. |
 Fair Trade Jewelry |
Our jewelry reflects the beautiful culture of the Eastern Mountainous regions of India, near the Himalayas. About half of our line is made from locally sourced stones and the rest are made from dried tree resins. They are fast sellers for being very stylish yet economical. |
 Fair Trade Journals |
All of the paper in our journals is made from recycled cotton waste, collected from the textile industry in Rajasthan, India. All the leather covers in our leather-bound journals is cruelty-free, meaning it came from animals that died naturally. |
 Accessories |
You can find key chains, boxes and packaging, bells and other little trinkets in this category. |
 Customizable Products |
While all of our products are customizable, we have compiled a list of examples for you to see what we can do. Many people ask us to make customizable packaging from our recycled cotton paper, customizable bags for conferences, or customizable stationery (journals) for corporate gifts. Our possibilities are endless, just contact us at design@handmadeexpressions.net for more information. |
 Green Selections |
Every product in this category can also be found in the other categories. We have just compiled a list of the greenest products we offer. We separated them into recycled products, organic products or products made of sustainable materials. |
