This great local shop not only supports our local economy, but they support the international artisans that make the goods they sell by offering fair trade value and by keeping up consistent and long lasting relationships. I love their concept and their mission and have been a long-time customer because of it. OWG is my go-to for unique Xmas tree ornaments, for great gift ideas and stocking stuffers, and for one-of-a-kind crafts. I have purchased a lot of jewelry from here over the years, as well as clothing, and I love interacting with the staff and hearing stories about the things they are selling and the people and communities they work with. If you like the idea of seeing your retail dollars go to a place that has a true positive impact on the local community, as well as supporting those in other parts of the world, I highly recommend this place. read more

A great little boutique that sells mostly fair trade and handmade items. They have TONS of ornaments during the holidays, cool jewelry that's not super expensive, a lot of knitted items like gloves, mittens and scarves, and gift baskets. I found a few unique gifts here for people that are hard to buy for. I also found a gorgeous pair of hand-knit mittens that I added to my Christmas list, but unfortunately, they was gone before my brother could pick them up. That means, if you see something you like, snatch it up (especially this time of year!). A special part of their service here is that they provide a little card describing the region your product came from and how it was made. It's a nice addition to a gift to know that not only are you supporting the small businesses of Rochester, but also the hardworking individuals handcrafting the items you've gifted to friends and family. read more

This is my go-to-store for Chocolate, Coffee and Olive Oil. These items are all Fair Trade and of the highest quality. The Olive Oil is first press, extra virgin from the West Bank. The growers of the coffee and cacao beans live in various Third World countries and are paid a fair living wage for their labor. If you are looking for chocolate for your health, they actually carry 88% dark bars, as well as many other unusual varieties. Of course, there is also, jewelry, scarves, winter clothing items and household gifts. Stop in and see for yourself! read more

Shopping One World Goods is like taking a mini vacation. Seeing items made from all over the world and learning the stories of the talented crafts-people who make them makes the world a little smaller and a little closer. This store is the antithesis of big-box shopping. I know that what I buy here will unique and often a conversation starter. The volunteers who work there are always willing to help you find something special, they are enthusiastic about what they do and you can tell they really want to be here, which makes the shopping experience more enjoyable. Oh and the always have samples of their fair trade coffee for tasting! read more

I absolutely love this store! It has a wide variety of unique gifts that are made from various locations all over the world. The prices are more than reasonable. The concept behind the company also makes buying the items within the store even more rewarding. A wonderful store that I highly recommend! read more

One World Goods carries only fair trade sweatshop free goods. It is a great place to get gifts and pretty little trinkets for yourself and your home. Their jewelry selection is really great. Every piece is labeled with its country of origin which is really fun. The prices are reasonable, too. You'd pay the same at any gift shop or boutique, but at One World Goods you know that the laborers are paid fairly. read more

The BEST place to shop for gifts for others (or yourself!) All of the items are Fair Trade, meaning the artisans are fairly paid for the goods sold here. When you buy a gift here, it's like giving twice! The store is staffed by knowledgeable volunteers who can answer questions or make suggestions ... and they have coffee samples too! They have a fabulous collection of jewelry at a fraction of what you'd pay in a jewelry store. Even if you're not in a shopping mood, you'll end up purchasing something because of its unique quality and/or beauty. I can't rave enough about this little store in Pittsford Plaza that is next to the burger place. Do NOT miss it. read more

I volunteered for 4 years at One World Goods. Everyone at the store, minus the upper management, is a volunteer. The goods are only purchased through supply channels that guarantee the artisans a fair living wage with no child labor. You will find many unique gifts here from places in Africa, S.America, Asia, and even the USA. The most interesting thing I ever found at OWG were these square lacquer buttons made by women on welfare in impoverished areas of the USA. They would make scenes in the buttons and bake them in a clay oven. The prices are about on par with most boutique shops, but since the staff is all volunteer, that savings is passed on to the laborers. Buy up. You're supporting a great cause. read more

I like the idea of One World Goods. A lot. I would love nothing more than to support it and those who contribute time and handcrafted goods to the store. That's probably why I keep walking in and looking around, hoping to find something to purchase. Unfortunately, I've never been able to find a use for the things they sell. This may be entirely because I'm not their target audience. My own decor skews heavily towards the functional and minimalist. I just can't make myself buy something that exists only to be cute and/or displayed, and I definitely don't go in for wearable arts and crafts to wrap around my neck or wrists or dangle from my earlobes. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything to buy when I'm shopping for a gift, either - but it's true the event I'm buying for typically requires me to select something closer to an objet d'art, rather than a fun and earthy tchotchke. I find OWG's products just can't compete with the quality of the handcrafted goods offered by so many other boutiques in this area. OWG's products have an undeniable arts-and-crafts feel - I have the impression that their most important qualities are that they're the products of someone's labor. I don't want to suggest that I expect those who contribute products to be or to become master artisans. I would be among their most enthusiastic customers if they simply offered me something to incorporate into my life - something I could use. It's hard for me to justify buying something just because someone took the time to make it. read more

Very pleased with my latest experience at OWG. This is a great place to shop for jewelry, accessories and home goods for yourself or as a gift. There was a big clearance sale going on during my visit and I got two wooden bracelets from Indonesia for $2 each and a ring from India for $5 (not even on clearance). My sister picked up a pair of baby booties and some jewelry for herself. There are a lot of trinkets and not everything is useful, but each item is beautiful and unique. The stickers with the price will also tell you the country it was made in. All of the workers are volunteers and extremely pleasant. Go here to buy fair trade and give back while getting amazing items to put in your home. read more

What an amazing shop full of unique items from all around the globe as well as locally. The staff and volunteers are friendly and helpful in finding the perfect gift for yourself or your loved ones from jewelry to clothing, coffee, chocolates and olive oil to home decorations, linens, wall hangings and more. Many items are made from recyclables which are given new life and utility. All items are Fair Trade and provide a fair wage to the artisans who create beautiful handmade goods. Stop by and prepare to be enchanted. read more

One World Goods is a go to for me when buying gifts. I like gifts with meaning and supporting those who work to make the jewelry, scarves, purses, and housewares is important. I also like gifts made from unique materials and OWG is a great source for upcycled just about everything. read more

This is a wonderful little shop for gifts or international inspiration. The volunteers that work here are friendly and kind. A great place to find unique items. read more

I have found unique gifts at One World Goods in Pittsford Plaza at reasonable prices. At One World Goods the cashier staff are volunteers which means there is way less middle people between the actual artist and the customer. I enjoy the variety of goods and whenever I buy a gift there, it really has meant a lot to the recipient. A co-worker collects giraffes, so I bought her giraffe napkin rings and she was delighted! read more
