THE Threads MISSION

We are creating life-changing work for women around the world through the fair trade of artisan jewelry.

MADE SHOP

WITH Heart.

WITH Heart.

We collaborate with Artisan Partners around the world to generate sustainable business opportunities. Many women we work with are are struggling from social, economic, and political hardships. By providing work, fair wages and safe workplaces, Threads provides women in developing countries with a way to thrive; not just survive.

OUR

Story The three of us have been best friends since a road trip after college took us across the country from New York City to Portland, OR. We still laugh about our beat-up Jeep overheating in Death Valley, the incessant stops for soda and chic-o-sticks and our misadventures in Mississippi! Luckily, we all eventually moved to beautiful Colorado!

(Left to right: Kara, Angela and Lindsay) The three of us have since traveled together internationally and visited 50 countries individually from Cambodia to Argentina and India to Ireland. With each trip to a developing country we were struck by the people.

We remember the little girl in Cambodia who walked through the open sewer without batting an eye while begging for grape soda; we remember the children in Sapa, Vietnam who frantically adorned us with bracelets and then smiled to request payment and of course the countless families living on the highway medians in Mumbai, India.

Each trip sparked the conversation: “What can we do?”

Threads is our answer.

We created Threads Worldwide as a way to provide a market and income to skilled artisans who would otherwise be limited in their potential. We source handcrafted products from around the world that we love for their quality and style, regardless of their story – and, each piece has an amazing story!

We wanted to provide a scalable way to make a difference so developed a social selling model where women in the US can make a difference while making money.

By becoming a Fair Trade Partner with Threads or by hosting a Threads Event, you are contributing to the growth of a community across the globe. You are providing a family the means to send all their children to school, to stay in their rural villages or to simply feed themselves. Thank you for looking, thank you for buying – it makes a difference.

A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.

- Diane Mariechild

When you buy something made by a person, there is something special there, and you do feel it. The consciousness with which a thing is made is often more important than the thing itself.

MADE WITH Heart IN INDIA Several groups in India provide women from lower social castes the opportunity of economic advancement and social mobility--two phenomena that are rare in India. Women move from a life destined to selling fish on the side of they road to designing and making fashionable jewelry. They find themselves to be valuable contributions to their cooperative and community. Providing women at poverty level opportunities for consistent income protects their children from trafficking and abuse by keeping them in school. Together we are combating child labor at its roots.

MADE WITH HeartIN

GUATEMALA

Before women in Guatemala had this opportunity to create an income-generating business in their homes, they were isolated and looked at with little respect. Now these women work together to create beautifully handcrafted jewelry and train other women in their community to do the same. They are now connected, respected in their communities and supported in pursuing their dreams.

MADE WITH Heart IN ASIA Several of our Artisan Partners throughout Asia are women rescued from sex trafficking. They are taught a trade which provides sustainable income and prevents re-exploitation. Without the alternative source of income hand-making wallets and jewelry, many of the women would be forced to return to the sex trade industry to support their families. Together we are ensuring these women are provided healthy alternatives, childcare and additional educational opportunities.

26

As women, we must stand up for ourselves. We must stand up for each other. We must stand up for justice for all.

Even skilled silversmiths in Indonesia suffer from unfair wages and unsafe working conditions. For over twenty years our Artisan Partners have refined a program where artisans are paid fairly for their superior work and are able to set up shop in their homes in remote villages around Bali. Karyawati is one woman who earned enough build a separate working area and install a toilet in her home. She was also able to adopt her daughter, Intan, and provide her an education she may not have otherwise received.
