Company Summary

Far & Wide works with artisans in poor economies offering home decor and fashion accessories to a growing community of fair trade customers. Our artisans create unique products while we get them to markets. We support our artisans through www.artisantoolkit.org. To avoid tying down working capital in inventory we established the Artisan Impact Fund – blending capital from aid donors, impact investors and business investors.
