Wonderful place. It is a nonprofit that helps promote trade in small villages all over the world. The recycled crafts are very innovative and useful. I love the vibe and will return often.

The women owners were super friendly and helpful and I got a really nice tourmaline ring while my boyfriend found a one-of-a-kind handmade African birthday card, definitely worth perusing for some goodies, cards, or gifts.

Wonderful store of unique gifts where your purchases help change peoples lives for the better. Great for holiday or birthday shopping. A nonprofit, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and now theres lots more parking.Lots of really great jewelry and clothing and truly interesting stuff, like the poo paper--thats right, paper made from elephant poo--paper.

This is a really cool store. Everything in the store is fair trade. If you are looking for gifts this holiday season, I highly recommend finding them at this store. They have crafts from all around the world. You know that you are getting something very unique and original when at this store. I would even recommend giving yourself a gift from here. Its going to be hard to walk in without walking out with something for yourself with so many amazing options to choose from.

Very good store of Tibetan and Hindu stuff. Staff is awesome and friendly. Ambience is blissful. Amy is awesome. Its a huge store. If you dont find parking in front, there is extra parking in behind. There is also a door to the shop from behind. Prices are lil high but goods are handmade by someone in other developing countries (thats what they say tho) hence lil expensive. Must visit. Even if you dont buy anything, this store will make you feel good as you enter.

10,000 Villages is a delightful shop with gorgeous goods for a great cause. Their jewelry is unique, one-of-a-kind, and beautiful. I bought some cool newspaper earrings that had a conical shape made with small rolled layers. Everywhere you turn, there is a feast for the eyes. Handcrafted soapstone boxes, stationary, jewelry, beaded purses, hand woven scarves, candles. What is also quite surprising is how affordable everything is for such great craftsmanship. I will visit this store for years to come.

Peace-filled from the moment I walked in the door. Fair trade store where I bought beautiful art and food items because I loved the items and not from any sense of guilt or obligation. I bought great stuff for our home and as Christmas gifts -- prices ranged from $4.99 to $125. So, no sense of well, I guess I have to pay more for fair-trade. This store itself is a non-profit and staff are so dedicated that they are volunteers. The store partners with local charities on different nights and donates portion of profits.

Ten Thousand Villages is always worth a visit. The products are of the highest quality, theres something for every taste, and youre supporting justice and ethical trading practices with every purchase. And these stores are always so beautifully put together, with gorgeous displays and beautiful seasonal items! The emphasis is on homewares but theres also a lot of jewellery, some bags and clothing, as well as Fair Trade food like tea, coffee, chocolate, spice, oil, and more. Take a look!

There is so much to see in this store! I love that they work with cooperatives to help provide decent wages for the workers. I love handmade goods and they have a great selection. There is also Equal Exchange coffee on the house.

The staff is so nice! Its a small store, but the products are all worth a look. They should expand the dress and shoe selection, because the prints and fabrics are gorgeous.

I love going in here and finding all kinds of neat treasures and supporting a good cause. Tip: if you eat in one of the shops in the strip around them and show them your receipt, theyll give you a discount.
