Just Creations is a not-for-profit Fair Trade store that has been providing unique, handmade products to the Louisville Community since 1990. In addition to selling products to provide support to artisans and farmers worldwide, we educate the public about Fair Trade through our educational outreach and community engagement programs. We invest in people and build relationships with like-minded organizations, trading partners, and individuals to create change around the world.
The name, “Just Creations,” was chosen to reflect our mission of “justice” as it is lived out through Fair Trade and the sale of the “creations” of talented artisans from around the world.

Fair Trade is an alternative trading system that provides sustainable employment opportunities to marginalized artisans and farmers in developing countries. With the income they receive, they are able to pay for the basic necessities of life.
Fair Trade means many things to artisans around the world. It means a new start for refugees of political violence, hope for women who have been part of the sex trade, and support for those suffering from HIV/AIDS. To all of them it means a living wage, work with dignity, and hope for the future. It provides a measure of social justice for those who have been exploited by a global economic system where profit comes before people.
This is why Fair Trade is so important. Buying Fair Trade is one way you can use your power as a consumer to change the world. Every product tells a story that is as unique as the artisan who made it. Let their stories inspire your purchases.
Your purchase makes a difference in the lives of people around the world!
