Arcobaleno Trade is Santa Barbara's only exclusively fair trade store. We opened in 2007 with the belief that goods can be beautiful, desirable, affordable and ethically produced. We recently partnered with a local, organic cafe to expand our impact on the community and to create a space where eating, drinking coffee, shopping and socializing all meet. We believe that fair trade should and can be mainstream and hope our business can be a catalyst to educate about the importance of where goods come from, how they were made and how the person who made them benefits from their production. Arcobaleno Trade started with my mother and I have taken it on to see her vision through and spread the word of the fair trade movement!
