 Microenterprise - Women's Artisan Co-ops

Empowering Women, Crafting Futures
At Warm Heart Worldwide, our Women's Fashion Accessories initiative is more than just a collection of beautifully handcrafted items—it's a pathway to sustainable livelihoods for women in rural Thailand.

Through this program, women are empowered with the skills and opportunities to create stunning, high-quality fashion accessories, providing them with a steady income and a sense of pride in their craftsmanship.

​Each piece not only reflects the rich cultural heritage of the artisans but also supports their journey towards financial independence, helping to uplift entire communities.

We launched Warm Heart Fashion Accessories to connect existing co-ops with our fashion experts to:
  • Identify promising products
  • Suggest design, production and packaging improvements
  • Create products that stand out among similar products in Chiang Mai markets, online and overseas

The goal is a steady increase in sales and profits, and a sustainable income stream for women.

Microenterprise Impact – Building a Brighter Future

The fashion business is tough with stiff competition from products made with cheaper labor and materials. Nevertheless, Warm Heart is committed to helping local women by:
  • Always paying Fair Trade rates
  • Helping our co-ops identify and produce attractive items that sell well to increase economies of scale and efficiency
  • Developing a suitable customer base, both local and international, to ensure consistent and growing orders year round
  • Honoring our commitments with both our producers and our customers to build long-term, mutually beneficial strategic partnerships
  • Giving our producers the autonomy to work near their homes while juggling their responsibilities in the fields and with their families

Phrao women want to work and possess the skills to produce beautiful products, but know nothing about style trends and the global market.

Warm Heart Fashion Accessories connects existing co-ops with outside organizations for help. Our experts work with co-ops to improve design and marketing materials, and we sell Phrao artisans’ products around the world.

The women of Phrao learn technical skills easily, but currently lack the funding to finance production or the experience to deal with the myriad of production problems related to successfully competing in the fashion world today.

How to cut costs with better sourcing? Design better packaging? Find richer markets? Get pricing advice?

Warm Heart Fashion Accessories takes on all aspects of the challenge confronting Phrao sewing and weaving co-ops and de-risks their efforts to grow.

We identify promising products, suggest design, production and packaging improvements, and take the best products to market in Chiang Mai, online and overseas.

We manage and host  an online store to expand our market globally. We offer our complete collection of silk scarves, cotton and rayon scarves, wrap bracelets, macrame jewelry, tote bags, and more.
