Handmade Expressions is a sourcing partner for global, Fair Trade and environmentally-friendly products. Here are some benefits of partnering with us:

We offer modern products and traditional art
Our core competency is the combination of functional, modern product designs combined with the traditional art forms of our artisan communities in India. Handmade Expressions follows fashion and market trends in international markets, using these to guide the artisans so they can produce functional goods. We offer products that are high-quality, unique and serve a purpose. In addition, given the artistic skills among our artisans, we are constantly renewing our product line.

We can connect you to a new world
We work with artisans in various regions. Each region has its own unique art forms, different culture and means of communications. We spend time understanding and establishing a partnership with the artisans and use this partnership to connect them internationally. Each product has been handmade by one of our artisans and has its own story and identity.

We are a direct connection
We work directly with the artisans in India to reduce costs for our customers, make communication faster and make lead times shorter. Having a direct connection also allows us to customize products to fit the specific needs of our customers. There are immense possibilities to create unique and beautiful products by combining your ideas and skills of our artisans.

We uphold your company’s image
We will help your company stay stocked with Fair Trade products while you continue to support social responsibility. Each of our products comes with information tags mentioning their environmentally- and socially-responsible aspects and artisan information. We also provide posters and point-of-sale information along with the merchandise for our retail partners to educate the end-consumers about the artisans that made their product.
Fair trade is a growing trend in the United States. Conscious buyers are demanding more and more fairly-traded products and green goods from their local stores and chains. Carrying Fair Trade substitutes and eco-friendly alternatives to everyday products creates a sense of respect and loyalty within your customers for your store. At the same time, buying our products allows you to make your own contribution towards improving the lives of others.

We are a true global company
We are a truly global company with teams across the world. We have one team located in India that directly works with artisans on creating and developing our products. Working with us will help you save on traveling and communications expenses, product experimentation, logistics, and most importantly, time. We are set up to create the products you need while meeting the people’s and planet’s needs.

We can promote your business!
We can help you promote your business or your events through our social media (Twitter, Facebook, Blog). We would be happy to send out interesting facts and bits of information about your business, such as the remodeling of your store, a special sale, new product line, career opportunities, church sales, or a fund raising dinner (basically anything fun) to the folks in your area and online.
