Global Mamas

There are a lot of options in today’s world for parents seeking to purchase
baby clothes for the newest members of their families. The trends in
baby clothing run from the simplistic and traditional (average, low
cost baby clothing purchased second-hand or from discount stores like
Kmart and Wal-Mart) to the seemingly extravagant (“designer” baby clothing
created by the likes of Christian Dior and Kimora Lee) and the wildly
untraditional (“alternative” baby clothing based on the punk rock and
heavy metal styles of the 1980s and 1990s). All of these choices save
the first can cost considerable amounts of money, more than the average
baby outfit may be worth, yet the items sell. Why? Because people love
style and they love to dress their children and babies with style.
Global Mamas is a company that is taking that concept of style and shaking
it up a bit, turning it around, and offering something new: style with
conscience.
Global Mamas sells all manner of children’s apparel, including baby
clothes, at prices that are similar to the unique offerings of the “alternative”
baby clothes retailers and often considerably less than the “designer”
retailers. The items that they market are handmade by African women
who benefit directly from the profits. According to the company’s web
site (http://www.globalmamas.org) the mission of Global Mamas is to
“enhance the international marketplace with unique, high quality, handmade
apparel, and at the same time provides sustainable livelihoods for women
and girls in Africa.”
Global Mamas is a member of an organization known as the Fair Trade
Federation (FTF), a US non-profit organization that works to ensure
a “fair trade partnership” between North American marketers and distributors
and the African women who create the items marketed by Global Mamas.
The FTF works with companies that have similar partnerships with workers
in Asia, South America, and Latin America as well.
If you’re in the market for baby clothes with style, you could get the
style that you’re seeking and do a bit of good in the world at the same
time by taking a look at the different designs in baby clothing that
Global Mamas has to offer. Purchasing children’s and babies’ clothing
from Global Mamas can present a win/win/win situation. The FTF and Global
Mamas both win by getting to continue their work, the African women
win by getting the chance to make their lives just a little better,
and you win by obtaining the style that you’re seeking… with a conscience.
