Pledge to be a Mindful Consumer this Holiday Season

Doña Martina Garcia is from the Mixteca region of Mexico, where basket-weaving — which has been passed down for generations — is a way of life. She and her group of eight artisan basket weavers produce roughly 700 baskets per month.

For each of these artisans, basket-weaving means a stable monthly income used for building a house, starting a small business, or purchasing food and medicine. Luckily for Doña Martina, steady sales have meant being able to spend more time at home, where she can work on her baskets while taking care of her children.

Doña Martina is a proud supplier for GlobeIn. Her success is one of the many stories that illustrates how we deliver joy by empowering and connecting remarkable, remote artisans to mindful customers. We are dedicated to supporting artisans from around the world and in developing countries where artisan goods are the second largest source of employment.

Between now and the end of the year, half of all Americans will buy something for themselves or as a gift. We can collectively make a huge, positive impact for artisans around the world by thoughtfully choosing products that have been crafted with care.

Sign your name and take the pledge to be a mindful consumer this holiday season. And if you sign up to hear more from GlobeIn, we will show you how you can support artisans like Doña Martina.
