Global Girlfriend was founded by social entrepreneur Stacey Edgar in 2003 to help women worldwide gain economic security while providing consumers unique handmade products and a simple way to help women in need. Our brand offers a line of women-made, fair trade products including apparel, accessories and gifts with one purpose -- helping women in need help themselves. We believe passionately that economic opportunity for women holds the promise for real change in the world; because when women have an income, they reinvest in themselves and in their children’s health, education and nutrition, building stronger families and communities over time. Many women try desperately to make a living selling their artisan-quality goods but find that they have little access to market opportunities. Through fair trade practices, Global Girlfriend brings the work of these disadvantaged groups to the global market.
Global Girlfriend believes in forming long-term partnerships that provide women a fair living wage with equal employment opportunities, healthy and safe working conditions,technical assistance and development strategies to foster prosperity and reduce poverty. We utilize both a wholesale and retail channels, where we work with over 100 women’s artisan organizations in over 30 countries. We have partnered with premier retailers including Whole Foods, Smithsonian, Target.com, Universal Direct and West Elm as well as over 1,000 fair trade and specialty stores nationwide. In August 2007 we merged with GreaterGood/Charity USA.
