What is Fair Trade?
People often ask: Why fair trade?
When Tumi started in 1978 the word fairtrade was not used in the same way as it is today. But there are organisations in the UK such as Tearcraft and later Tradecrafts and Tumi who developed the concept and tried to show others that you can make viable business in a capitalist society whilst being fair and just with the people who provide you with the income, often the artesans who live in developing countries.

Ceramic replica of the Aztec calendar or sun stone. The original weighed 25 tons and had a diameter of 3.6 metres and was originally placed halfway up one of the Aztec pyramids. The spanish destroyed the pyramids and so the calendar was buried and only rediscovered in 1760. The figure in the centre is Tonatiuh, the sun god, whose survival depended on the blood of human sacrifice. Around him are carved the days, months and cosmological periods representing the whole Aztec universe. Hand made in Mexico. |
