Karma Market was born with Rebecca Berggren's desire for a greater availability of fair trade items and limited choice handmade and unique gifts items in San Diego. Just like the galleries at Rock Paper Scissors, Rebecca wanted to make a difference in the world by combining her love of fair trade and her knowledge in marketing while providing awareness of the fair trade creative industry around San Diego.

Opened in the spring of 2006, Karma Market continues to offer stylish, affordable and socially responsible gifts and goods that enable artists from around the world to earn a fair and stable income for their families. Working in healthy and safe working conditions, there is also an emphasis on giving back to their communities and helping to preserve the environment. When you purchase an item from Karma Market, you are not only buying a one-of-a-kind world product, but you are helping to provide income, hope and respect to people in developing regions.

From beautiful earrings and beaded bracelets to eco-friendly bags and beaded coin purses to candles and baskets to belts and satin jewelry rolls, increase your fashion sense and your karma points by visiting this San Diego shopping destination.
