New Amparo Crafts range launched

Wednesday, 30 May 2012  |  Colin

Spiral Beaded Bracelet (Green)New Amparo Crafts range now in stock

Amparo Crafts are the latest addition to our roster of suppliers. When we first met Elizabeth, the owner of Amparo, we were very impressed by the fair trade and eco mission she was undertaking with her company.

Amparo Crafts seeks to alleviate poverty in rural areas of Colombia through promoting conservation and fair trade. Amparo in Spanish means shelter and protection.

They provide opportunities to local artisans, in particular women who live in extreme poverty, by training them to make environmentally friendly hand-made accessories such as womens jewellery made with exotic seeds. The main project they support is Women for Conservation.

Accessory Fair now stocks a range of beautiful Amparo Crafts fair trade products, including beaded bracelets and necklaces made using exotic seeds, such as Tagua, Chocho Rojo and Azaid.

Not only are Amparo’s handmade bracelets and necklaces stylish and great quality, but they all come with impressive fair trade and eco credentials. Also, on the label of every Amparo item you will find the name of the artisan who made it, you can then read their personal story on the artisan page on the Amparo website.

Price Rounding

We have decided that, from today, all of our prices will be rounded to the nearest 50p, which we believe is helpful in making our pricing, and our business in general, more transparent to our customers.
