About Artisanelle
Artisanelle provides fair trade economic opportunities for Indigenous Peoples from Canada and the Americas. Each purchase empowers Indigenous women, Two-Spirit, transgender, and gender-diverse designers and makers to do what they love. Artisanelle proudly supports Indigenous artisans so they can live with dignity, support their families, and build thriving communities. As part of the Native Women’s Association of Canada’s social enterprise initiatives, Artisanelle promotes resiliency, economic growth, and cultural revitalization for Indigenous Peoples. We believe there is transformative power in every Artisanelle purchase.
