When you shop with MarketPlace India, the beautiful garment you receive is just the start. Your purchase helps bring economic independence to hundreds of low-income Indian women—fabric artisans, tailors, embroiderers, and business leaders— breaking the cycle of poverty and creating new opportunities for their
children. MarketPlace India, a fair trade non-profit since 1980, uses natural fabrics printed with traditional methods and includes hand embroidery on every style, employing more mothers who work from home. Our cooperatives—run by and for women, with leaders trained and chosen from within—offer numerous employee development programs in financial literacy, health, and education for families and children.
