Fair Friend - Ecru Elephant

Sweet as can be, Ecru Elephant is snuggle‒ready! Grab a book and curl up. Not quite ready for quiet time or bed? This little friend offers hours of imaginative play too—dress up or down with a removable yellow dress that ties stylishly at the shoulders. Tea parties? Yes please. Weddings? Sure! Hockey games or little chefs who want a friend to feed—all is possible. Handmade by artisans in India working with fair trade partner Sasha.

Who Made It: Sasha Exports is a nonprofit marketing outlet for many small member cooperatives of Sasha Association for Craft Producers. Sasha offers design services, and training in business skill development and other management principles. Sasha empowers artisans to run their businesses independently, building livelihoods for socially and economically marginalized producers. The wide range of crafts and textiles offered by Sasha draws on tradition, retaining cultural context, yet making products contemporary for present-day living. Sasha also hopes to revive a wide variety of dying handicraft traditions. For many artisans, handicraft production is their main source of income. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from Sasha Exports since 1979.
