ELEGANT ROOTS VALUES

Elegant Roots, a branch of Elegant Village LLC, is a values-based e-commerce boutique that transparently offers high-quality artisan-made products from eco-conscious and socially responsible designers and small businesses.

We recognize that making responsible choices can be a complicated matter. We are not perfect, and cannot expect perfection from any product, process or company. But we are confident that positive steps when reasonably possible, can make a difference.

Our Name

Our name reflects our values. We offer a small but elegant notion that transparently presenting products with eco-conscious and socially responsible roots -- the story -- enhances their meaning and adds value.

Mission/Vision Statement

Elegant Roots transparently offers and consistently delivers a sumptuous and relevant shopping experience. We believe that the more often our transparency demonstrates socially and environmentally responsible product roots and business practices, the more dramatic our contribution to sustainable living.

• Quality: We delight our customers by consistently and timely delivering exceptional quality.

• Relevance: We offer products that are socially and / or environmentally responsible, without exception. We carry only high-quality beautifully handcrafted products with intrinsic value produced withnfair wages and good working conditions, without exception.
