The Inspiration Behind the Brand

Three friends were traveling the world and fell in love with the subcontinent of India. Drawn in by the colorful textiles and markets, they were inspired to create something innovative that captured this vibrant culture and empowered local communities in the process.

Fast-forward several years and this spark of inspiration became Mata Traders — an ethical, fair trade fashion brand that provides women in disadvantaged communities with a stable income while sharing the beauty of colorful crafts with conscious shoppers around the world.

How Your Purchase Makes a Difference

Purchasing Fair Trade clothing rather than conventional “cheap clothing” transforms communities as well as reversing many of the problems caused by a fast-fashion industry model. When you buy an organic cotton garment from Mata Traders (mata literally means “mother”), you are helping to:

• Preserve traditional art forms
• Provide meaningful work for women in India and Nepal
• Make women more independent
• Do your bit to transform the world
• Provide jobs, healthcare, and education
• Combat child labor and help to send children to school

The benefits begin with each artisan and radiate out to the wider society, beautifully reflecting the brand’s motto: “fashion a better world!”

Discover Your Colorful Fair Trade Style

Mata Traders has an amazing knack for weaving local and global designs into each piece with colorful dresses and tops that suit a modern cosmopolitan lifestyle. As you browse their Fair Trade clothing, immerse yourself in nature-inspired, geometric, and abstract art motifs and fashion a better world today!
