All About Enrou
Enrou is a central marketplace which features a curated collection of fashion and lifestyle products that empower individuals through small business and community development, while inspiring consumers to make a positive global impact through their purchases.
In essence, Enrou allows you to buy fabulous products from local artisans around the world – you not only get beautiful, stylish accessories and gifts, but you’ll learn the story behind where each piece came from, and will be making a real difference with the dollars you spend.
Here’s a little more on how it all works, and how Enrou’s model supports developing communities around the world:
Enrou uses the power of trade; not aid, to purchase items from social enterprise and not for profit brands that work within developing communities around the world. Enrou does not donate proceeds, but rather purchases the goods at and above fair wage prices so that our artisans can sell to a larger global market. This model provides them with a more sustainable and consistent income.

I love that you guys are doing this. I want to get behind more stores and brands that do things like support local artists and are starting sustainable practices.
Hi Mariah, this is Jessica from Enrou 🙂 Thank you so much for your support! Our industry is definitely growing & it’s so exciting to see that people are getting behind businesses that are supporting international growth & sustainable practices. It gives me so much hope for the future of our world!
For any of your interested to know how you can support these brands (other than knowing which brands do & do not follow sustainable methods & choosing to shop at those that do), my best recommendation is to become informed of these new alternatives & to continue to educate others of these, like Enrou.
If anyone has any questions, comments, anything! & would like to learn more, I’d be more than happy to discuss here in the comments. Looking forward to hearing from you all and thank you again for the support!
