Ten Thousand Villages fits beautifully into The Downtown Mall’s eclectic shopping scene. The store’s 1,200 square feet holds over 20,000 hand-crafted items– from all kinds of gifts, to consumables like coffees, teas and soups, to apparel and personal accessories like scarves, jewelry, and purses. Everything in the store is fairly sourced from thousands of artisans, 70% of whom are female, from villages all over the world.
When you buy something from Ten Thousand Villages, you instantly make the world a better place! This is their mission, and you can feel it at the counter! When you hand over payment in exchange for your merchandise, you immediately feel the hand-up you give to the maker somewhere far away in less advantaged circumstances.
Charlottesville’s Ten Thousand Villages store supports local charities like Shelter for Help in Emergency and International Rescue Committee. One of only 49 Ten Thousand Villages stores across America, we recommend you experience this unique shopping experience.
