Artera Home’s Fair Trade Month: Empowering Artisans Fairly
Fair Trade Month is a time to celebrate and support talented artisans around the world. At Artera Home, we are committed to creating a fair and sustainable environment for these artisans, where every handmade product carries the essence of their culture and the story behind the creation process. In this blog, we will share how Artera Home is fulfilling this commitment throughout Fair Trade Month, highlighting the initiatives and positive impacts we bring to the Vietnamese artisan community. Join us in celebrating the craft, culture and values that make a difference.
The Importance of Fair Trade in the Craft Industry
1. What is Fair Trade?
Fair trade is a global movement that prioritizes ethical trade practices, ensuring that artisans and workers are compensated fairly for their labor and products. The aim is to create sustainable livelihoods for artisans while also promoting environmental and social responsibility. In essence, it’s about fairness and transparency, ensuring that everyone in the supply chain, from artisan to consumer, benefits equitably.
2. Why Fair Trade Matters in the Craft Industry
In the world of handicrafts, traditional skills and cultural heritage are often at risk of being lost due to the pressures of mass production and exploitation. For artisans, fair trade represents a way to preserve their craft, sustain their communities, and earn a dignified living. At Artera Home, we take pride in working with artisans from Kim Son Craft Village and other communities in Ninh Binh Province, Vietnam. By supporting fair trade, we ensure that these artisans are not only compensated fairly but also able to continue their craft for future generations.

We believe in fair trade because it promotes mutual respect. By compensating our artisans fairly, we support their ability to sustain their livelihoods, preserve their traditions, and pass on their skills to future generations. This approach is at the core of Artera Home's business values.
2. Daily Care: Nurturing Creativity
Beyond wages, we ensure our artisans receive daily care. We understand that creativity thrives in a supportive environment, which is why we provide comfortable workspaces where artisans can create freely. We also ensure that meals are provided to maintain the health and well-being of our artisans, recognizing that physical nourishment directly impacts the quality and creativity of their work.
At Artera Home, this daily care is not just about taking care of our artisans’ immediate needs it’s about fostering an atmosphere that inspires them to continue creating beautiful, meaningful products.
