We know... it seems like forever since you've heard from us on here! But the wait is over. We're back and better than ever with a brand new website, a whole new team, and a completely updated catalog. Welcome back to the official Alternatives Global Marketplace Blog! 

So... what's new? Over the past few years, our small business has grown into a thriving e-commerce marketplace, but don't worry, we're still a small team that values unique handicraft, handmade goods, and fair trade principles. That being said, we have refreshed quite a bit! We now have a brand new logo and an entirely new website, designed in a way that makes it easier for you, our valued customers, to learn more about us and shop our curated collection of items from around the world! We've also added some new team members since you've heard from us last. We encourage you to check them out here! Finally, we've been working hard on one of the most important parts of the fair trade process - transparency - by creating detailed pages for all of our wonderful artisan partners so you can learn more about them, their impact, and the processes behind their master artisanship. All in all, while we're the same Alternatives Global Marketplace that you've known and loved for years, we've got some exciting new updates that we're extremely proud of, and we hope that you'll continue to follow us on our journey!

While we won't have a regular posting schedule for a while, we will be trying to post somewhat regularly, so check back often for updates, and make sure to follow us on all our socials and subscribe to our newsletter for more frequent updates! 

That's all for now! See you soon.
