for Ten Thousand Villages news, artisan stories, offers and local event information for our store in Tallahassee, FL.

Wrap yourself in harmonious elegance with our Tapestry collection.  The gloom of darker and shorter days is cast aside as our handcrafted holiday decor pieces shine and sparkle.  Transform your home into a chic yet welcoming retreat where you won't mind spending time indoors!  Add an elegant and inviting atmosphere with shimmering golden accents of brass and copper, accented with glints of glass. The collection is characterized by intricate patterning and timeless beauty -- the weaving of cultures represented by the tapestry motif. 

Ten Thousand Villages is a marketplace for exquisite, hand-made items produced by artisan groups in developing countries in Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. Our non-profit, fair trade store in Tallahassee is part of the Ten Thousand Villages network – a group of retail stores in North America joined together in our common mission to provide vital, fair income to people in the Third World by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories. For the volunteers, staff, and board members who dedicate their time and talents to support our store and its operation, Tallahassee’s Ten Thousand Villages is our way of making the world a more peaceful place – we are fighting hunger and poverty by empowering our artisans and encouraging their self-sufficiency.
