If you love unique, handmade goods, this incredible shop will delight you. It carries items made by Third World artisans and focuses on the craft rather than the income (with emphasis on fair trade).

The merchandise includes breathtaking Oriental rugs, beautiful handmade papers, carved trinkets, and children's toys. You'll also find clothing, home accessories and a variety of decorative items.   (© 10Best)
