This fair trade wallet was produced by disadvantaged people working in a cooperative in Cambodia
Greenheart is a cool store and organization out of Chicago that sells both eco-friendly and all fair trade products. They’re a non-profit that sells all sorts of goodies like handbags, jewelry, clothes, organic clothes and more. By shopping Greenheart, you support sustainable and fair business practices.
I checked out this wallet, which was made in Cambodia. I love it – it’s a nice size and fits everything I need. And they sell tons of other really neat items. Like this skirt. (hint hint, hubby) And some kids’ products like SIGG water bottles, books, fabric puppets and more.
Visit Greenheart to see all of the great items they sell and to support a really great organization.

LOVE LOVE the RED!!!
I love these, especially that they’re produced using Fair Trade guidelines. It’s a hard choice between the black and the green as my favorite.
I think PINK! Love it!
The green trend has made its mark on the gift industry, changing the way designers think about raw materials.
