This week we attended the kickoff showcase for Ebay's new World of Good marketplace. WorldofGood.com by Ebay is the first online marketplace to exclusively promote "People Positive and Eco Positive" products through showcasing thousands of artisans and craftsmen from around the world...
World of Good seeks to advocate for and improve the conditions of the global working class by bringing their products to a growing consumer market. The result is a huge variety of unique and ethically-sourced products, from hand-crafted ceramics to sustainably-grown furniture.
Every purchase comes with a Goodprint label showing you the positive impact of your purchase. You can shop based on the social and economic impact that is most important to you.
We particularly love their pottery and baskets, as well as the lovely olive wood salad serving set (picture above). For more information and to shop, visit WorldofGood.com by Ebay.
Also, make sure to check out Sarah's post on AT:Chicago for her World of Good picks!

While I appreciate what this is I would rather support local artisans in my own country who are also struggling to make ends meet.
After looking at the art glass items offered on this site I have to say that I have seen the identical art glass styles and patterns coming out of Brazil, Portugal, Chile, Turkey, etc. They all claim to be handcrafted by a local artisan, but they are so identical in their appearance and technique that I suspect they are mass produced somewhere else.
I would love to wrong about this.
