Jubilee Traders Introduces Artisan-Made Fair Trade Table Linens from India at AmericasMart Atlanta Gift & Home Furnishing Market
Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) June 30, 2014 -- Jubilee Traders’ fair trade, hand-block printed table linen collection will make its debut this season at AmericasMart Atlanta Gift & Home Furnishing Market, Atlanta, GA, July 10-14, 2014. The table linens are handcrafted by artisans in a small artisan workshop in Sanganer, outside of Jaipur, India, using a combination of eco-friendly dyeing and traditional block printing techniques.
Jubilee Traders has also been accepted to exhibit for the second consecutive year at NY NOW, the Market for Home & Lifestyle, in the design-driven Handmade Global Design section at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, NY, August 16-19, 2014.
The collection of 100% cotton tablecloths, napkins, place mats, and table runners are available in 15 versatile and colorful patterns. They are machine washable and maintain their vibrant colors for many years. The handmade designs are exclusive to Jubilee Traders, and are intended to enrich and enliven home decor. “Each table linen represents an artisan who is using their skills to support their families, educate their children, and build toward a future of dignity and hope. By purchasing Jubilee Traders linens, you join our efforts to change the world for the better,” said Paul Culler, co-owner. The linens can be found at retailers across the US.
The art of hand-block printing has existed in Jaipur for generations and many of the artisans originally belonged to the traditional "chippa," or hand-block printing caste. Jubilee Traders exists to keep the art of hand-block printing alive and was purchased by Paul and Lois Culler in 2012. Since then, they have expanded their customer base and given more work to the artisans in India by refining existing designs and adding more patterns based on demand and tabletop trends.

This commitment assures stability, full transparency in the supply chain, that workers are paid promptly and fairly, and work in safe conditions with no child labor.
