Peacecraft has served the New Mexico community for eighteen years, providing beautiful handmade crafts from the developing world. Peacecraft purchases them either directly from cooperatives or from alternative trade organizations. Sixty percent of the regular price of everything is returned to the cooperatives, giving the producers a fair income.

Are there great crafts marts in your city? Share your knowledge in the comments box below.
