Ten Thousand Villages Pasadena - (Near Pasadena, CA)

5 /5 Terri Andrzejewski: Beautiful store filled with unique hand crafted gifts made from the heart from developing world countries . Proceeds go back to support those creating these items. Great for gifting and adding a one of a kind touch to your home. Staff pleasant and helpful. Please support this local gem

5 /5 Marianne FinermanMD: What a fun place to shop! They have everything from fine international crafts to jewelry, beautiful greeting cards, and even international chocolate. The best part is that you feel good shopping since it’s fair trade and purchases support the crafters. Large parking lot & accessible.

5 /5 Stevie Yortsos: Recently I got a wooden frog noisemaker at Villages Pasadena and couldn’t be happier with it! The craftsmanship is beautiful—smooth wood, lovely detailing, and beautiful colors. When you run the stick along its back, it makes a surprisingly realistic croaking sound that makes me smile. It reminds of the time I could hear the frogs in Hawaii or from what I’ve been told about the coqui frogs in Puerto Rico. It’s such a simple item, but it brings a lot of joy. I also love knowing that my purchase supports fair trade artisans around the world. This shop has such a great collection of meaningful, handcrafted goods, all with such an amazing backstory. I absolutely recommend stopping by whether buying for yourself or for others!

5 /5 Annika Buxman: Love this place! Its special for me because I have personally met many of the artisans from Bangladesh on the learning tour sponsored by the store we did last fall. Love the recycled sari products--quilts, flowers, pot holders and chairs. I love adding a sari flower to my table every time I go to the store

5 /5 Steph Couvrette: Cute store! I used to go to the one in Montreal years ago and its nice to find one again. Love the selection here.
