About Us

Life, we think, should be chock full of adventures, nifty coincidences, accidental conversations, and daily discoveries. Not getting enough? Try our Fairly Traded, adventure ready bags, clothes and charmed objects. Then…venture forth with good karma on your body.

Unique Batik is a Fair Trade wholesaler and online retailer based in Raleigh, NC.  In business since 1991, Unique Batik now partners with artisans (individuals and families) in Guatemala, Ghana, Thailand, and Chile.  A proud member of the Fair Trade Federation, Unique Batik guarantees its artisans fair wages, long-term relationships, and safe working conditions that are free from discrimination and forced child labor.  

We are deeply committed to fair trade values. By paying fair wages and maintaining ethical business practices, we enable artisans to earn a living while remaining in their home villages, close to their families and communities. This stable income helps support local economies and preserves cultural heritage.
 
Beyond our business partnerships, we are actively involved in fundraising efforts for schools and clinics in the communities where the artisans live and work. Our goal is to help provide access to education and healthcare, further strengthening the wellbeing and resilience of these communities.
