Fair Trade USA Unveils First NYC Marketplace

Patagonia, West Elm, Kroger and other Fair Trade brand partners showcase in Manhattan’s Seaport District through Oct.

During Fair Trade Month, nonprofit Fair Trade USA is opening its first pop-up shop to showcase the brands that make fair trade a part of their DNA — and what it means to live the lifestyle.

A third-party certifier of fair trade products in North America, Fair Trade USA lends a showroom appeal to brands such as Patagonia, West Elm and nearly a dozen other brand partners for shoppers to peruse, sample and purchase. The pop-up, called “Fair Trade Difference,” is located in New York’s Seaport District through October and includes Fair Trade-certified food, fashion and furniture.
