A Fair Trade Online Home Décor Store Helps Empower Women Artisans Across the Globe.

Market Value

The Little Market was born from a powerful friendship and a big idea. Co-founders Hannah Skvarla and television personality Lauren Conrad met in 2006 at fashion design school, where they became fast friends with a shared love of style, travel and philanthropy.

As the two extensively traveled around the world, they found inspiration in colorful local markets, and were also moved by the talented and vibrant women who handcrafted the goods.

On one trip to Africa together in 2012, Conrad and Skvarla began conceptualizing an online home décor store that would sell fair trade goods – including an array of accessories for entertaining – by talented artisans across the globe.
