Who are we? Sweetly Designs is a for-profit, fair trade jewelry enterprise that seeks to empower rural women living below the poverty line in Gujarat, India with the tools necessary to market their goods to an international consumer base and to increase their income in a sustainable manner. We engage in online retail, wholesale, and innovative community partnerships to promote our fair trade products and vision. By treating the women we serve as viable economic actors, and by engaging in a constant conversation about the needs on the ground, Sweetly Designs will redefine what it means to be fair trade.
