Artsy but not crafty- yeay!
FINALLY someone gets the artisan fair trade thing right! I always want to buy fair trade but its hard to find items that I would actually want to wear without looking 'hippy-ish'- no offense to hippies. This is a great way to support other women entrepreneur's without sacrificing quality or style- well done!

Helping Others Help Themself's
I recently purchased a blessing basket from The Karma Market. I recieved it in a very timely manner. It was as beautiful as in the pictures. I got a special surprise inside the basket. The artisian who hand wove the basket, was from a little village, and she took the time to write her name on a little piece of somewhat tattered paper, and attached it to the bottom of the basket. I almost cried. I was so touched. I tell every one about it. It made me feel good to help someone out, from some where far away. EVERYTHING at Karma Market is beautiful.
Thank-You Karma Market, for the feel good purchases.

The Best of All Worlds
Karma Market is an incredible way to combine your desires to look and feel good with your values. Everything available at Karma Market is beautiful, classy, and has huge amounts of style. I have no problem finding tons of things that I feel really reflect my own personal style or the personal styles of my friends and family. But in purchasing jewelry and other items from Karma Market, I also know that the social return is just as great as the personal return. It is so empowering to know that you CAN have it all in making purchases through Karma Market!

Great gifts as you are supporting a good cause
I have bought all my Xmas present last year through Karma Market. There are a lot of cute and affordable jewlery and accessories, ideal for my girlfriends, mom and aunts of all ages...They were well received, as it came with a little card explaining what country it came from and who made them, so it made them feel good about their gifts and it made me feel good about supporting a good cause!

Empowering Women!
I fell in love with this concept immediately! Helping support women owned businesses enabling them to help support their communities is key. All of the products have such character and a story of their own. Its amazing all of the things these women can accomplish with just a little start up cash.

Socially Responsible Gifts
I have had the pleasure of purchasing many gifts from Karma Market and have been impressed with the quality and beauty of each item. What I liked the best is knowing that I am helping someone in another nation. I also enjoy the detailed information and history of each piece. It makes each gift very special to know where it was made and the meaning behind it. This was my first introduction to fair trade and I now look for these items when I shop. I am sure that Karma Market will continue to grow and expand. We need more companies like this. I had a wonderful experience with Karma Market products and service and will continue to shop here for all my gifts.

Beautiful Quality Gifts
Every item I have seen is beautiful and very well made at fair prices. I found gifts for many different people as well as myself. I love to wear the pieces because they are handmade by artisans so each piece is one of a kind. The fact that fair trade brings that quality and character to the worldwide market place is fabulous.

Consciously Classy
It's just the beginning for The Karma Market. As more and more people become aware of the reality of where and how their belongings are made and are brought to them they will be more conscious in where they shop. However, style should not be taken lightly. It's important to surround one self with beauty and things that bring out personality and individual expressions. The Karma Market allows one to express their personality while also being in alignment with values and beliefs.

Feel Good with Style
I am a total jewlery and accessories fiend! As, I became more conscious of the fair trade movement I was continually disappointed by the fact the people in the stores had no idea what "fair trade" was; and of course could not tell me the origin of the accessories I was buying. When I found out about Karma Market, I was so excited. Sure you can find similar items at some of the import stores, but they are so much more expensive and you have no way of knowing how they were produced. The pieces you find at Karma Market are fashionable and beautiful; while at the same time amazingly affordable. Since they are handmade, many of the pieces are truly one of a kind art-to-wear. The best thing is that I know that the benefits of my purchase are reaching the artisans that create the products, and in some cases contributing to the actual communities where they come from.

Socially conscious giving
I recently was gifted a beautiful bracelet from a friend that bought it at The Karma Market. The bracelet is of superb quality and I just love it! Besides loving the bracelet, I love knowing something was bought for me from a fair trade business. I can wear my bracelet knowing whoever made it is profiting in a positive way to better their own lives. Cool~we can profit from a great gift and the makers profit...we are both improving our lives! I highly recommend buying from Karma Market!

Gifts That Keep Giving
This is an absolutely wonderful idea and site. I have traveled to many of the places that Karma Market has sourced their products from and they really have found some amazing, top-quality products. I learned so much about fair trade too which is vitally important for the global economy:)
