Fair Trade Jewelry & Home Goods with Acacia Creations
I'm excited to carry some of Acacia Creation's products. Acacia Creations creates sustainable employment opportunities in developing communities through out India, Kenya, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Uganda. This ethical brand uses fair trade practices to create home goods & jewelry.
Acacia Creations also provides opportunities for makers to expand their own entrepreneur skills by providing interest free loans and by sponsoring classes artisans feel will be valuable. Acacia Creations continues to give back through their incubator for other artisan groups which gives space to groups who might not be able to typically afford a workspace.
I first learned about Acacia Creations when I partnered with them through The Honest Consumer. I was able to test out some of their jewelry and fell in love with the unique styles. A lot of the jewelry crafted by artisans in developing countries is unique because their artistry is born out of necessity. In developing communities makers value what they have by recycling products & repurposing materials. Acacia Creations encompasses these elements in their design by using sustainable & recycled materials when possible. For example, our Hammered Bolo Necklace (featured in the picture) is 100% handmade from repurposed materials featuring a hand-cut and hammered recycled brass pendant hangs from a tan suede cord. Also this necklace is great because you can tie it & style it so many different ways. Tie it tightly for a choker style fit or wear it looser for a hanging necklace style.
