Traveling back 3,000 years to ancient India, you will hear Sanskrit, one of the oldest languages, spoken on the tongues of people walking in the streets. It is here where we find inspiration for our company name.
In Sanskrit, matr signifies ‘mother’ and boomie stands for ‘land’. Together, Matr Boomie means motherland, the ground we walk on, the creative source.
Here at Matr Boomie Fair Trade, our vision is to create a world that is playful, compassionate, kind and connected. We use trade as a tool for positive change by distributing products for ethical living. Each timeless piece is handcrafted through processes which are gentle for the planet and safe for its people.
We are a one stop destination for ethical and sustainable gift shopping. Our collection of fair trade jewelry, home decor and unique gifts are made from natural and upcycled materials that are sourced in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. We are members of the Fair Trade Federation and partner with over 1,500 artisans in marginalized communities throughout India to create economic and sustainable living opportunities, with a special focus on women.
