Our Mission

The Village Store is the ultimate destination for unique handmade products from Madagascar. We strive to help impoverished and underemployed Malagasy artisans by providing them a forum to sell their products online and in North America for a fair price. Currently we offer beautiful gifts, jewelry, textiles, serveware, and personal accessories representing the unique culture of craftsmanship in Madagascar.

Artisan Spotlight

Imagine living your entire life in your parents’ house. For the past six decades, that is exactly what Clotilde has done. Because of the untenably high cost of rent in Madagascar, her parents converted their living room into four tiny rooms for her and her siblings to use as temporary homes.

At age 58, Clotilde's dream is to own her own home, with the help of The Village Store. “I sew shirts because I have a goal to own my own my home one day. I know if I make high quality products that people like and buy, I can accomplish this goal. That is why I sew these shirts.”
