One of our main focuses at ftw supply shop is to find quality products that are sourced from companies and artisans that support fair-trade, are globally inspired or locally produced, women, indigenous, or minority owned, handmade or crafted with local materials and time-honored skills, and that use sustainable practices and materials.  We love all of our suppliers and we wanted to share a bit of additional information on some of our favorites.
