So beautiful, I can't believe it's only $15.95! What a bargain!

Great gift idea for her! Great for your sister!

Don't know what fair trade is? Let us explain: Fair Trade is a commitment by companies to pay a livable wage in local context, engaging in environmentally sustainable practices, promoting healthy and safe working conditions within the local context and providing financial and technical assistance to producers wherever possible.

Artisans are able to support their families, local communities are preserved and you reap the rewards of beautiful, hand made goods. Sounds like a pretty good thing.
