GENUINE CRAFTSMANSHIP FAR FROM FACTORY.
The products in La Maison Afrique FAIR TRADE range are genuine handicrafts made in small craft studios and homes – none of the products are made in a factory environment. The materials are mainly locally grown plant fibres. Dyes used meet requirements for health and the environment. The artisan in the picture is Madame Vololoniaina against the background of the countryside where she lives and makes hats from sun-dried raffia palm leaves.
La Maison Afrique FAIR TRADE raison d'être (mission): Crafts from Madagascar with respect for environment, people and tradition.

FASHION REVOLUTION WEEK is an annual campaign, which this year April 22-29 2023 marks 10 years since more than 1,100 people died and another 2,500 were injured when the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh collapsed.
The campaign Fashion Revolution's vision is a global fashion industry that preserves and restores the environment and values people over growth and profit.
Over the past ten years, the buzz around sustainable fashion has only gotten louder. - But in the meantime, the real progress is going slowly in context of accelerating climate crisis and increasing social injustice.

La Maison Afrique FAIR TRADE recommends: Fair Trade crafts - a revolutionary good choice.
