OUR STORY
Founded in Canberra, Australia in late 2020, we opened our little shop located at the Fyshwick Niche Market in Canberra. Woven is a social enterprise and a leading resource for sustainability and slow living.
Woven directly imports from artisans and sources from the Fair Trade organisation of WFTO suppliers. We believe passionately in the value of a circular economy. Our partners and future partners are in the following countries - Bangladesh, Malawi, Ghana, Guatemala, Nepal and Tanzania.
Our mission is to support producer partners' efforts towards economic independence and control over their environment and to challenge the power structures that undermine their rights to a livelihood.
To protect the environment and use natural resources suitably throughout our trading and to promote environmentally responsible initiatives to create new models to promote sustainability.
To supply customers with good quality products, with friendly and efficient service and build awareness to empower customers and producers to participate in Fair Trade and environmentally sustainable solutions.
To provide a supportive environment to all stakeholders and promote dialogue and understanding between them.
To set an example to business and government of a Fair Trade model of business based on partnership, people-centered values and sustainability.
