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.

Tumi Crafts received the World Award for Effective Communication from the Centre for World Development Education in London.
From Mexico, the home of the Maya and Aztec cultures, we import fair trade crafts such as pre-Hispanic pottery, recycled glass, tin, silver jewellery, nativity figures, burners and a large selection of ceramic fish and cat figures. From Central America, El Salvador and Guatemala, we import hammocks, miniature figures, worry dolls, textiles, bags and accessories.
From Colombia and Ecuador we import music and fair trade crafts such as musical instruments, Panama hats and soft furnishings. From the land of the Incas, Peru, in the heart of South America we import fair trade crafts such as mirrors, beads, musical instruments and knitwear.
More recently we have started working in Indian fair trade crafts involving silk scarves, glass beads, ornaments and silver jewellery. Tumi is currently a member of the fair trade organisation BAFTS. Whether you are looking for christmas presents, valentines, weddings, birthdays, easter or any other occasion, you will find something at Tumi. More about the founder www.mofini.com
