Ten Thousand Villages in Denver, CO, is a fair trade retailer of artisan-crafted home decor, personal accessories and gift items from across the globe. Featuring products from more than 130 artisan groups in some 38 countries, we are part of a network of over 150 retail outlets throughout the United States selling Ten Thousand Villages products. As one of the world’s oldest and largest fair trade organizations, Ten Thousand Villages has spent more than 60 years cultivating trading relationships in which artisans receive a fair price for their work and consumers have access to distinctive handcrafted items. We seek to establish long-term buying relationships in places where skilled artisans are under- or unemployed, and in which they lack other opportunities for income. A founding member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), Ten Thousand Villages sees fair trade as an alternative approach to conventional international trade. Ten Thousand Villages Denver originated as part of More For Less Thrift in Lakewood, eventually opening in Cherry Creek North on Columbine Street in 1996. We have been at our current location on Third Ave. since 2002. Governed by a Board of Directors, Ten Thousand Villages Denver has a manager, an assistant manager, and is staffed by over forty volunteers. |
