“We turned our 200 custom-printed bag order into a “Circle of Caring.” After purchasing these wonderful bags from fair-trade artisans in India we invited our customers to purchase these eco-friendly bags to use in Kansas City, and all the funds raised went to build a Habitat for Humanity house in El Salvador. Our customers loved being a part of the “circle” and we sold out of bags in several weeks! Thank you!"
—Jan Buerge | World’s Window

“I just wanted to let you know that the shipment of bags and notebooks arrived today! Everything is stunning! I’m very happy with the product and it was a pleasure working with you. I hope to continue in the coming years.”

“Handmade Expressions offers beautiful products. Customers from a wide range of ages, personalities and socio-economic levels are drawn to these bags and journals (and the stories behind the products).

The customer service is outstanding with calls and emails promptly returned. On occasion we have even had the opportunity to make suggestions about certain products and these have been considered and implemented.

It is a pleasure to work with Handmade Expressions as a company. It is even more exciting to know that these products are created by artisans who are given a fair wage for their work.

_It is one thing to buy wholesale from a company; it is entirely a different venture to feel like there is a viable partnership that is helping to sustain and advance families in India."
—Will Honeycutt | World Next Door _

“Handmade Expressions is absolutely a wonderful company to do business with – friendly, helpful and such pleasant conversations. Thank you for such a positive experience.

On top of that, your products are beautiful & excellent quality.

I received my first order and within 2 days almost everything sold. What a great surprise! In particular, the Eco Shopping Bags, Stitch Sizzle Purse, Night & Day Bracelet went like hot cakes. I’ve been carrying a Stitch Sizzle bag and keep getting compliments on the colors, details and creative stitching.

We feel so honored to help support your Artisans and look forward to making an even bigger difference in their lives through selling their handcrafts on www.ExoticWorldGifts.com "
—Liz Allen | President, Exotic World Gifts, Inc.

“Every item of yours has a handmade, artistic feel to it, and, at the same time, the consistency and quality are great. I appreciate your careful attention to detail when I’m frantically placing orders, and your flexibility and patience with my last minute ordering as well. While I’m sure we’re not one of your biggest account, your personalized and thoughtful service makes me feel that way.

Suggestion: an email announcement when any new items are posted would be helpful.

As always, I look forward to seeing any new products you’re developing."

—Lisa Dunn | Revive

“We received the journals via FedEx last week, and I must compliment your artisans on the exceptional workmanship. The journals are a vivid representation of exactly what Fair Trade items are: high quality, accurate pricing and most importantly; the fair exchange to the artisians for their creativity and effort. Thanks again for providing such high quality items.”
—I F Gordon | The Sahara Tee Co.

“I noticed […] that you include the wholesale prices on your website accessible to all, including my retail customers who tend to be quite computer saavy. As your website is on all of your products, I am requesting that you delete the wholesale prices so as not to cause embarassment to your wholesale customers who are attempting to resell these products in their retail stores at retail prices.”
—Nina Cangiano | Global Offerings

“We are really excited about the bags; my mom loved the one you gave me, although she immediately asked about reinforcing the seems and the handle, which I assured her you would do, as per our conversation at the show. Noni has been using your bag every day and has gotten a number of compliments on it already. We look forward to having them as soon as possible”
