«Fair trade» wholesale Craft made articles for the home Welcome to One Village Wholesale Network ONE VILLAGE began as a wholesaler – back in 1979 – and all our products are available on trade terms for those retail shops that are able to buy from us in volumes.     We also make products available for selected printed mail-order catalogues but not normally for online shops. If you are a retailer with a shop or printed mail-order catalogue and would like to add our products to your shop collection, please make contact with us. New customers, please call our head office 01608 811811. This website is the most comprehensive source of published product information and illustration. Our product catalogue is extensive and begins right here online (there is no print version). Our trade pricelist is only a list, and that is provided in printed form – not online. The article names and numbers in the list correspond with those shown alongside the pictures and information here in the website. The list is sent to regular trade customers – and that is the place to look for detailed trade price information. Our latest trade pricelist is dated November 4, 2008. Our trade prices are such that most shops find they can comfortably sell at the same suggested retail prices as shown in this website whilst making the normal commercial margin. Our policy on prices Our online catalogue To see all the available product, and check our quality standards, the best thing is to come to our own RETAIL SHOP – One Village in Woodstock, Oxfordshire. All available articles are on display at our shop, and a visit will provide a demonstration of a suggested retail format. We only have our own lines in the shop – so there is in this collection enough to run a complete store without going anywhere else! The product range is coordinated with an overall look, holding all together. If you are planning a visit, please phone us beforehand so we can try to be sure that someone from the Wholesale Department is on hand to welcome you. You'll enjoy the visit – Woodstock is only 7 miles from Oxford, and also home of splendid Blenheim park and palace. There's the Oxfordshire County Museum, and lots of places to eat. New customers please call our Head office 01608 811811. Then post, fax, or email us your order (don't do this online). We'll respond with a pro-forma invoice.

One Village Wholesale network: Our policy on prices.... WHENEVER YOU source from One Village, you will enjoy exceptional value for money. That is not a claim that we are necessarily the cheapest – although customers tell us that we often are. What you get from us is intelligent design, expertly made, at a sensible and workable price. Everyone knows that quality standards vary from one company to another. The point to realize is that when products are specifically made to a low price you can be pretty certain that quality will not be good. This is tragic because: For most final customers, product attraction and quality is more important than price; Making bad quality results in an erosion of craft skills (once lost, they may be gone for ever); Craft makers are not properly rewarded for their skill and this means human problems for the makers and their families. Who really wants to be part of that trade? At One Village, we work direct with craftspeople organized in cooperatives and artisans’ societies, where everyone has a share in the success of the business; or where the makers are beneficiaries of social enterprises for the common good. We actually set out to build up the quality of life of the producers and their communities. This involves serious concern for working conditions and rewards, and for continuity into the future. People making for One Village will earn, by local comparisons, a very satisfactory income for their creativity.   And by their participation in cooperatives and societies, they have a right to decisions about who benefits from business profits. Improvement of craft skill is also an essential part of our practice to «build people up». Concern for the future includes proper regard for the future of natural materials and the natural environment. Elsewhere, so often these are sacrificed in the interests of low price. But One Village cannot trade in isolation from competition. We make sure our price to you is sensible by streamlining our supply arrangements and systems, and cutting back on margins. We avoid the normal chain of regional and national middlemen and trading families (and their profits), working instead in partnership directly with the community organizations where our products are made. In this way we bring to you a better product for less cost. Join our network of retailers ... have the right commercial products, and do the right thing.     «One Village: Inexpensive and good quality»     – Daily Telegraph Magazine Click here to online catalogue, showing suggested retail prices Fair trade?
