Yes, we have a process that includes bringing artisan representatives to the table to negotiate fairly for the artisans’ time and energy.  We commit to providing wages that are 6-10x more than what our artisans were previously making.  Our artisans are paid for their work upon completion of each item, long before these products reach shelves and are sold in stores.   We also have the highest in fair wages and supply chain transparency with a certification called the Nest Seal.  Our parent company, All Across Africa, is one of ten companies globally with the NEST certification and the only one currently on the African continent.  The NEST seal is the highest standard for assessing artisan homeworker production and supply chains and indicates that fair wages are paid, supply chains are adhered to, that there are no children in the workforce and that materials and dyes used are ethically sourced.
