Spring/Summer 2011 Wholesale Catalog
A Fair Trade Company With Sustainable Style
HANDMADEEXPRESSIONS
As I look back on 2010, and forward to 2011, I am filled with optimism. Every day, more and more people are becomingconscious about sustainability.
TV commercials are presenting the low carbon footprint ofproducts and local cafes serve 100% fair trade coffee.
Sustainable choices are no longer an afterthought for businesses and consumers — sustainability has become a way of life.
After learning the hard way that respecting your customers and the environment takes more than fancy packaging, traditional businesses are going back to the drawing board. This is no surprise to us; we have long known that “doing good is good business.”
This is certainly the case at Handmade Expressions.
From its inception, our mission of promoting fair trade and sustainability has guided all our business decisions and helped us to grow fair trade in this challenging economy and rapidly changing consumer culture.
An example of this is evident in our new School Paper line of products. These uniquely designed journals and gift bags are made with notebook paper discarded by schoolchildren in India. Rather than see this paper go to waste, we have been able to repurpose it for a new productive use. Now our artisans have a new product to offer the market, and consumers are instantly able to connect with the related sustainability story.
And Handmade Expressions is honored to play the role of the storyteller.
This is what experience has taught us: always seek new ways of doing business and new ways of being sustainable.
It sums up our vision and purpose, and we would not have it any other way.
I invite you to explore this presentation of our new productofferings for the Spring/Summer 2011 seasons. And as you do, I know you’ll experience a fresh and exciting connection to both our artisans and our corporate mission of sustainable development.
Peace and Happiness,
Manish GuptaFounder, Handmade Expressions, Co., Ltd.

VishwakarmaThe artisans behind the creation of our Color Splash bags are creative and innovative people that inhabitthe harsh, desert region ofnorthwestern India.
This desolate area is unfit forfarming, and therefore is a land oflittle opportunity.
As an alternative, many artisans decided to create a cooperative that has benefited from Fair Trade principles.
These artisans create beautiful products, such as bags and cushion covers, by stitching together scraps from the textile industry.
These scraps can have printeddesigns on them, embroidery,mirror work or other kinds of details, making them look very beautiful and intricate.

CottonIndia is the second largest
producer of cotton in the world.
Essential not only to India’s
present-day economy, cotton also
played a significant role in the
country’s history, when Gandhi
encouraged Indians to weave
their own cotton in a peaceful
protest for independence.
Post independence, textile
production became the largest
industry in India and created an
economic platform through its
strong exports.
In many ways, cotton also
weaves the cultural threads of
India. It is a medium utilized by
artisans across the country to
express their art.
Worn by Indians of all social
levels, cotton is decorated using
various art forms — ranging from
block printing to embroidery to
appliqué.
The story of India’s cotton
production proves craftsmanship
and tradition are both powerful
tools for revolutionary change.

Community Market
Local markets have long been
central to the life of Indian villagers.
Not only significant as a source of
income, this exchange of fruits,
vegetables, spices and other goods
depends on and contributes to the
community life in the village.
From growing crops locally, through
harvesting then selling in the
marketplace and finally preparing
food for family, community bonds
are ever-present in local commerce.
This awareness of community
creates a sense of moral
responsibility in the producer,
leading to higher-quality products
and healthier diet for most Indians
living in rural areas.
While modern times have brought
an onslaught of malls and chain
stores to urban India, 70% of the
Indian population still resides in
villages that are enriched by this
strong sense of community and
organic way of life.

Spirituality
According to Indian mythology,
there are four stages of life —
student, marriage, serving the
community, and finding salvation.
When a man has completed the
first three stages of his life
responsibilities, he then focuses
on his spirituality.
The search for salvation might
lead a man on multiple journeys
— away from the social
environment he was a part of.
This kind of devoted, spiritual
man is called, in Hindi, a yogi (or
jogi). His simple, holy lifestyle is
filled with meditation in hopes
of attaining enlightenment and
salvation.
Such religious dedication is highly
respected among Indians of all
walks of life.
This is evident in the many
festival celebrations throughout
India — all infused with religious
significance.
Religion and spirituality are not
only reflected in Indian culture
and tradition, it is integrated in
every step of life.

The Colors of Life
Spices have always played an
important role in Indian culture.
Celebrated as a country of
vibrant expressions, India’s
unique way of life can seem like
a wonderful folk tale of bygone
years.
Yet color is a large part of
today’s contemporary Indian
consciousness.
In many ways, the colors of
spices signify life, expressing
faith, hope, tradition, pleasure,
luxury, fertility, prosperity and
power — a myraid of important
cultural representations.
The rich colors of these spices
can also be seen in artwork,
architecture, clothing and jewelry.
And centuries of trade in India’s
coveted products brought about
a cultural exchange that caused
Indian traditions to be woven into
the fabric of Western lifestyles.

Customization of our products can mean two different things:
Throughout the catalog, you will see some products noted as being customizable and having separate item codes.
These are products that are especially popular for custom logo/label printing.
In a broader sense, customization can mean changing a product’s characteristics to meet your needs, i.e. different color, size, material, or even working with you to create entirely unique products.
There is no indicator for this option in the catalog simply because the possibilities are endless. Our in-house design team is dedicated to working with you, however possible, to develop your custom product.

Sustainability is about choosing to care for our planet and share our resources. It’s thinking about the needs of the future.
Our daily choices dictate the footprint we leave behind, and the lifestyle we choose does not exist in a bubble — it affects everyone in our global community.
We need to be aware of this interconnectivity and make conscious choices as consumers — and as businesses.
Handmade Expressions has chosen to explore sustainability within a fair trade wholesale environment, by sourcing products from rural artisan communities in India.
These handcrafted products are made using natural, organic or recycled materials. And we strive to ensure the practices used in productionbecome more sustainable with respect to environment and people.
To this end, income from the production of these products provides artisans with consistent employment and a trade platform for long term economic and social development.
At Handmade Expressions we believe that art produced by communities infused with respect and caring expresses the essence of sustainable life.
This is our offering to you.
