"Bicycle with Basket Bouquet Quilling Greeting Card, 6x6"" with Envelope. Any Occasion. Blank Inside. Hand-made. Suitable for Framing. The parent company, based in Vietnam, has been Fair Trade Certified with the Fair Trade Federation. The organization focuses on maintaining a code of values for fair and just treatment of employees. They encourage growth and sustainable business all over the world. Saying a product is ‘handmade’, especially overseas, can often carry a negative connotation if there is no transparency about the working conditions and treatment of employees. Allying with the FTF, we are proud to have established a successful, flourishing business. The manufacturer employs over 100 quillers, providing them with a stable, safe work environment which includes housing, healthcare, and food benefits. Our quillers are continually striving to create a community of women that love the craft and genuinely enjoy the creative outlet that quilling can provide, while simultaneously providing a living for themselves. A 2nd factory will be opening in 2016 bringing the total employed to over 300 locals. Your purchase of these quilled cards perpetuates a cottage industry in Vietnam. Societal aid for those with disabilities is not the same as it is in the US, and often leaves people out of work and with no help. Employees are able to work from their homes since many live too far away from the factory to commute on a daily basis. They are paid per piece finished, and are able to contribute and create beautiful work they otherwise would not have the chance to do. https://www.fairtradefederation.org/"
