Great! Clean and spacious store. The management is doing some really cool things in the community. Very cool.
I’ve loved Ten Thousand Villages since my mom got me a beautiful hand carved bowl from one for Hanukkah in my early twenties. The selection of goods made by makers all over the world is always superb and the ideology of bringing these goods here for consumption and paying the makers a living wage is something I can get behind. We are a slow movement family and buy a lot of items second hand due to environmental concerns, so when we do purchase new items, it is with serious thought and intent surrounding the social and environmental impacts of those items. When I come here, I know that I am supporting small makers from all over the world and our family is proud of that.
Recently I purchased socks for a cause and handmade ornaments as presents and they all were well received by the recipients.
I absolutely LOVE this store’s mission, values and merchandise. I had a wonderful experience shopping here today which was my first time in the store. The assistant manager was super helpful and friendly. I will certainly come back soon!
