 The women behind
TAMMACHAT Natural Textiles
Alleson
Kase and Ellen Agger launched TAMMACHAT in 2007. We love textiles and
have been involved with threads, craft and empowering women in one way
or another for decades.
We want to live in a
world where:
- women
have choices about and control over their lives within their families
and communities;
- people
are fairly and adequately paid for their work; and
- everyone uses resources wisely and according to their needs, so that communities
and the planet are preserved for future generations.
What TAMMACHAT does
- We import high quality, fairly traded, environmentally friendly,
handcrafted textiles from Thailand and Laos. Visit our Shop and Services pages for details.
- We educate consumers about the benefits of purchasing fairly traded
textiles and about sustainable environmental practices used in the
production of this work.
TAMMACHAT is committed to environmental responsibility
 We print all our posters, handbills, brochures, business cards, hangtags and tent cards on 100% recycled stock. We ship our web orders and wholesale orders in re-purposed packaging. Unusable packaging and twice-used office papers are recycled through the award-winning Nova Scotian Solid Waste Management Program, which has achieved and maintains a goal of 50% waste diversion. At our sales events, we provide mulberry paper and off-cuts of unprinted newsprint (from our local newspaper publisher) for wrapping. We also offer our customers used plastic carrier bags.
