The Work at Home Woman



At five ACCESSORIES one of our goals is to help men and women by creating income generating programs and support our artisans and vendors by giving back a portion of our sales directly to them. With the advent of technology and all of its advances, more and more women here in North America are working from home. Opportunities that enable these women to remain home with their children while helping to contribute to their family’s income. Therefore, today’s post is for them – The Work at Home Woman.

five ACCESSORIES and Fair Trade


We at five ACCESSORIES strive to be in complient with Fair Trade principles.


We are committed to promoting fair trade through:


• Providing work and income for the most economically disadvantaged artisans throughout the world;

• Encouraging the empowerment of women and men in commerce through raising their self-esteem, dignity and self-sufficiency;• Creating a non-exploitive, supportive business environment in which women of different religions, ethnicities and ages can gain energy and learn to work together

• Protecting children's rights;

• And developing employment opportunities for many artisans, many of whom would not be employable in mainstream business.
