I was a long time supporter of Mosaic when it was downtown ever since Liisa took over so you can imagine how sad I was when they moved to Pleasant Hill. I had the chance to stop by there this morning on my way to the pumpkin patch and I gotta say, the new space really is great. It’s not too far from I-5 so it’s actually a quicker trip there from my house than it is for me to get to some of the businesses that I support around town in Eugene.

The space itself has been tastefully updated and it gives off a lot of the same vibes while still offering a new experience. There is a nice sofa in the middle that makes you really want to hang out and shop. It’s cozy without being crowded and the new fitting room is spacious and welcoming. While I’m gonna miss having Mosaic as a place to stop by when I’m doing my banking or shopping downtown I will continue making the trip out to Pleasant Hill when I need by a unique gift for someone or see an old friendly face and check out what’s new!

We stopped in just to check it out today, because I really like supporting great causes with my purchases. We were met with a very friendly employee that talked to us about the store wares and created a very lighthearted atmosphere. There is such a good variety of items, from toys to jewelry to kitchenware to clothing. I had originally had the conception that fair trade items were much more expensive than regular items you'd find at stores, but I found that the items are reasonably priced and were well within our budget.
This is good to note, considering that the proceeds go towards helping people who are normally exploited by companies! I didn't expect to buy anything, but once I looked around, there was so much variety and there was something for every price range. My partner and I found some great gifts for our family members.
Checkout was also a great experience. Once we mentioned that they were gifts, the store employee polished the ring that I bought and let me choose a small colored drawstring bag to put it in, free of charge! He also wrapped up the other item in tissue paper and offered a small paper gift bag to put it in, for an extra $.25.
This is a great shop that supports a great cause!

I'm always thrilled to see a mix of local artisans and fair trade gifts for purchase. Great place to do business. Support local, reach global. #fairtrade

Best fair trade store, locally owned. Easy parking. Store has great variety of items, perfect for Holiday shopping.

I love, love, love this store. We did almost all our Christmas shopping there this year. Liisa and staff are so knowledgeable about all the items they carry and are helpful when you need ideas for a family member. Totally happy with my experience at Mosaic Fair-trade. ❤🦋❤
