A popular annual five-day shopping event featuring a large selection of tribal, Bokhara, and Persian rugs hosted by fair trade retailer Ten Thousand Villages Pasadena opens on Wednesday, March 30 and runs daily to April 3.
The sale features products sourced from a pool of more than 20,000 artisans in 30 countries. Part of a global maker-to-market movement that breaks the cycle of generational poverty and ignites social change, Ten Thousand Villages encourages customers to shop with intention for ethically-sourced wares, and to share in the joy of empowering artisans around the world.
The store also carries a small selection of heirloom-quality, one-of-a-kind rugs hand-knotted by fairly-paid adult workers in Pakistan. You can see the selection online, or come to the store to see them in person.
