The Hope Collection, located in Oberlin, Ohio, is a nonprofit, fair trade store working directly with family workshops in Ecuador.

We also carry the products of other fair traders across the globe. The Hope Collection store opened in September 2020, an extension of the non-profit INTO. INTO is a non-profit, fair-trade, missional organization that reaches out to individuals, families, and communities in Ecuador. INTO offers our partner artisans a long-term commitment to provide fair wages in their local contexts, product development, cost analysis education, microloans, and access to more profitable outside markets. INTO’s approach is rooted in transparency, empowerment and ultimately love. The Hope Collection storefront includes all of INTO’s products as well as those from friends and colleagues that work in 15 countries across the globe. Every time you purchase a product at The Hope Collection, you are not only getting a great item, you are encouraging an ancient tradition of fine craftsmanship, traded through committed and honest business partnerships.
