Fun 'fair trade' items for Dad this Father's Day

Since 1997, Colores del Pueblo been working with artisan cooperatives in Guatemala. Through fair trade practices we hope to inspire postive change in the world.  Not only does paying a fair wage help families and communities rise above the cycle of poverty, but it gives them an incentive to continue cultural craft traditions like weaving, basket-making, pottery-making, woodworking and more. Buying socially responsible gifts can help empower women, children, and the economically disadvantaged -- and help them gain some control over their lives.

"Show your appreciation for Dad and bring out his fun-loving side with pants from the "Pineapple Express" and "The Big Lebowski" movies. We work with artisans in Guatemala to help them exit the cycle of poverty and to inspire self-sufficiency. Through this partnership, we, too, are enriched by their beautiful creations." 



We have masks, santos, slingshots, and folk art from Latin America. All pieces are one-of-a-kind ...
