Fair Philosophy

Our Vision of Fair Trade

Fair trade is based on fair market relations at all levels of the chain from producer to consumer.

After a careful selection of our manufacturer, Krishna and his family chose for the quality of its products, we are able to offer quality goods directly imported by us.

We control the production monitoring, which allows us to offer real guarantees on the value price.

Specifically :

• We advance funds for the purchase of raw materials.
• The hammocks, made in South India, come from a family workshop for 4 people including the youngest at 24 years
• Products are available directly from producer to consumer.
• We guarantee the purchase of goods amounting to 30% higher than local market.
• We transfer skills to the artisans (Internet course and design).
• We fund the planting of two trees for every hammock sold Un Arbre pour Demain.

1 hammock sold = 2 trees planted !
