A new address, a new logo

When Baksheesh started 11 years ago, few people knew how fair trade operates, or even that it is all about providing meaningful work for needy people, putting them ahead of maximizing profits. Many people who found us just thought we were a cool store.

Today, people are more aware. More people know about fair trade, and they seek out fair trade stores and products. We are very happy about this. We decided to make a few changes to make it easier to find us.

First, we secured the web name www.baksheeshfairtrade.com. This is where you are now.

Second, we changed the tagline that is part of our logo. Instead of reading Handcrafted Gifts from the Developing World, it now says simply Fair Trade. Baksheesh has always been 100% fair trade. We’ve been a member of the Fair Trade Federation since our beginnings in 1997. Now it’s in our logo.

We will be phasing in the new logo over the next year on our store signs and in all our print materials, as we use up existing supplies. We are proud to be a green Fair Trade company.
