Gather: Consciously Curated (formerly Ten Thousand Villages Evanston)

To create opportunities for artisans in marginalized countries to earn income by bringing their products and stories to our community through long-term fair trading relationships.

Gather: Consciously Curated (formerly Ten Thousand Villages Evanston) is a Fair Trade retailer of artisan-crafted home decor, personal accessories and gift items from across the globe. We feature products from more than 130 artisan groups in 38 countries.

We seek to establish long-term buying relationships in places where skilled artisans are under- or unemployed, and in which they lack other opportunities for income.
