Fair Trade
Chicago has recently been given official “Fair Trade City” status, and is the largest city in North America to achieve this distinction. The FTF is part of a global trade movement, building equitable and sustainable trading partnerships and creating opportunities to alleviate poverty.
The Chicago Market continues to support these vendors and has expanded the FTF section at the show to accommodate the demand for high end quality handcrafted products from around the world.
Look for the following FTF Members when you shop the 8th Floor this July!

The FTF certifies these members against a strict set of criteria. When you see the FTF logo you can be sure that these companies have Fair Trade at the heart of what they do.
