Ten Thousand Villages Overland Park

Led by Karen Blum and Kendra Frink, Ten Thousand Villages Overland Park, Inc. is a fair trade retail store.

Ten Thousand Villages Overland Park is more than a store, however. It's a place to explore and connect with your global village.

From communities worldwide, every inspired design is crafted with love using local materials (usually natural or recycled) and time-honored skills by makers we have known and worked with for years…even decades.

Discover organic clothing, jewelry, home décor, hand-knotted Bunyaad rugs, and specialty foods and beverages from over 45 countries.

We have been doing business differently in Downtown Overland Park for over 20 years, always putting people and the planet first. You can trust that your handmade purchase and donation directly impact the life and community of its maker, breaking the cycle of generational poverty and igniting social change.

Ten Thousand Villages aims to create opportunities for artisans in marginalized communities to earn income by bringing their products and stories to our markets through long-term, fair trading relationships.

I know someday their vision will be realized, where all artisans in marginalized communities will earn a fair wage, be treated with dignity and respect, and be able to live a life of quality.

Visit their store in Downtown Overland Park at 7947 Santa Fe Drive Monday-Wednesday, 10 am to 5 pm; Thursday, 10 am to 7 pm; Friday-Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm; and Sundays from 12 pm to 4 pm.
