The truth is that there are hundreds of fair trade products: from jewellery, clothing, decoration items, basically, everything we buy may or may not have the fair trade seal. When we ask people if they are familiar with this concept, they say yes to coffee, chocolates or tea, because they are cheaper and more advertised items. But coffee only had the fair trade seal in 1988, while jewelry, notebooks and other items have had it since 1946. This fair trade movement began with artisans and religious movements who felt the need to create something more than charity to help populations.
