Mata Traders is a design-driven fashion company that produces apparel and accessories with social service based fair trade co-operatives in India and Nepal.Designed in Chicago and handcrafted by fair trade women's cooperatives and artisan groups, Mata Traders clothing and jewelry includes handmade elements like block-printing and embroidery as well as natural materials and organic cotton. Combine that with flattering design and vibrant colors, and you've got the Mata look. But that's just half the story - this is fashion with impact, fighting for global gender equity and improving the garment industry. Our producer partners in India and Nepal have agency within their organizations, while avoiding exploitative garment factories and working to provide for their families.
