West Elm Collaborations

WEST ELM COLLABORATIONS:
Aid to Artisans
OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH AID TO ARTISANS

Since 1976, Aid to artisans (ATA) has created economic opportunities for artisan groups around the world by linking them with new markets and buyers. In collaboration with ATA, we worked with an Indian women’s yarn cooperative to create one-of-a-kind, hand-loomed and hand-woven pillows and throws without the use of any electricity. Our ongoing commitment has made West Elm ATA’s largest retail partner, as well as the proud recipient of ATA’s 2009 Distinguished Partner in Craft award.   Visit West Elm at http://www.westelm.com/ to purchase these unique items.
