Red Persimmon is all about Freedom. Everyone has his or her own definition of freedom. Red Persimmon Imports embraces freedom by owning a small business, fulfilling a dream, and making a difference in the world.

The ethically sourced products that I sell are produced in environments that are safe and free of child labor, use ecological methods of production, promote women’s empowerment and sustain traditional arts in India, Mexico, Bali and Madagascar.

The textile and art/craft tours that I offer follow the ethics of a socially conscious traveler. As Fiona Caulfied says in her Love Travel Guides "We aim to be conscious of the society and country we are visiting and believe in contributing to it in a meaningful way. ..supporting...socially and/or environmentally sustainable organizations...as they make a significant contribution to livelihood support and improved living conditions..."

By my offering and you purchasing these products,  we are doing something very tangible to make our world a better place. This is what makes Red Persimmon a socially conscious business and you a socially conscious consumer. Thank you for joining me — Katrina
