Ten Thousand Villages Alexandria

Located on Historic King Street, our store opened in 1994 by a group of dedicated folks with a passion for the mission of Ten Thousand Villages. We are more than just a store, we are a way for you to shop with intention, shop your values and connect with your global villages. From communities throughout the world, 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. In our shop, you will discover organic clothing + jewelry, home décor + hand knotted rugs and specialty foods + beverages from over 45 countries. We do business differently, putting people and the planet first. You can trust your handmade purchase and donation directly impacts the life and community its maker, breaking the cycle of generational poverty and igniting social change.Visit us today!
