My sweet wife purchased a great bag from Fausta who was over the top appreciative when we did not try to rip her off with a ridiculous offer. Nice day, and great vacation.
It’s remarkable how good it feels when you offer people fair trade for their work. In Haiti, we paid them 10 times what they were willing to take. They thought we were nuts, but we knew how deperately poor most of the artists were. We could afford to pay $30 for an oil painting and the money meant a lot to them and from our point of view was still cheap. Good for YOU too!
