Become Ethically Elevated with Made Trade, A Sustainable Online Store With Some of the Best Conscious Brands in the World for Men, Women & Home

Made Trade

The world of ethical shopping is expanding every day. Many new viewers tell me they are just starting their journey to a more sustainable lifestyle, but one setback most of them have in common is finding the right place to shop. Trying to figure out what products align with your principles and which are transparent enough for you to support is pretty overwhelming. Made Trade is at the top of my list of places to check out first. The website is inviting, wonderfully organized, and lovely to look at. It includes many different price points, sizes, styles, and values, so you'll surely fall in love with something no matter where you are in your sustainable journey. 

Three Reasons to Love Made Trade

Beautifully Curated: The creators, Cayley Pater and Andy Ives have an eye for style. They met in 2005 in their Fair Trade Club at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, so they’ve been a part of the conscious movement for a long time. They have done an incredible job picking the best brands and products for us to shop. I love a one-stop shop, and with Made Trade, you can buy for your living room and your man’s closet under one roof. 

Easy to Shop Your Values: Made Trade ensures each product covers one {or more} values - Sustainable, Fair Trade, Heritage, USA Made & Vegan. Each value has a little symbol next to the product, so you know exactly what category it falls under. Read more about Made Trade values here.

Great Way to Learn About New Brands: Even in the industry for almost five years and working with hundreds of brands, I’ve found some new ones through Made Trade! I even introduced one of those new brands to my own living space. 

What’s In My Home

Kiliim Rosetta Rug: Fairly designed and handmade in Egypt, this sustainable rug comes with a lot of tradition. Kiliim is an Egyptian social enterprise and lifestyle brand reviving and sustaining the local craft of handmade Kilim. They combine modern designs with ancient techniques to create eye-catching and vibrant rugs like the Rosetta shown here. They are all made with quality wool yarn and dyes in Fowwa, a small village near the Nile Delta. The craftspeople are paid a fair wage while being able to continue their craft and share their heritage with people like you and me! I know I will treasure this piece for many years to come... and maybe get a couple more ;)
