Sojourns

I ran across this shop when I stopped to eat in the area. I am glad that I decided to go in. This is a neat place that sales fair trade items from all around the world. A great place to shop for unique gifts!

They have some really beautiful things to check out from all over the world!

Great selection of fair-trade gifts.

Melissa is one of the nicest people I have met. The store always has really beautiful and amazing products. It supports good causes around the world and makes me feel good about my purchases. I'm always happy after a visit to sojourns.

One of my favourite places to purchase unusual gifts and, yes, practical things, even foodstuffs.

Fair Trade does not equal expensive nor poor quality. I have gotten some of the very best items for my home from Sojourns. We have items in our living room, kitchen,and our daughter's room. It is a must stop for a unique gift. From ornaments, to handmade paper, jewelry, puzzles, food, kitchenware, you name it, Melissa has it! The best part is I know the people who made it are paid a fair wage and I am supporting a local, small business. I'm no hippie - I want quality and a good price! This place has got it :-)

Love this store's ideals and their ties to the fair trade community. This store always sells amazing stuff, like good tea and cool things from all over the world. I've added them to my "cool stores to show people" list

Fantastic variety, atmosphere and concept. Every item Fair Trade certified and sourced by the boutique's Proprietor. She is a wealth of information who knows the story behind every project she sponsors. Feel good about what you purchase. Go to Sojourns. And, please do not support sweat shops.

A wonderful place to shop! I do most of my shopping there for all the gifts I give. So happy to know that I'm not only supporting a small business, but I buying products made by the craftspeople who have the opportunity to make a fair living wage and give back to their community.

Very unique and cool store... bottom line!

This trade shop is comprised of art, handcrafted pottery, toys, clothes, jewelry etc from all around the world. All prices are fair considering each item was handmade. You will also find a lot of notes about the items posted throughout the store. This will include info about the region of the world the item is from and even insight into the lives of the individual people who have crafted some things. The store is packed with goodies but doesn't feel cramped or hard to navigate. Includes restroom/dressing room(s) if you needed to try on any clothing. The staff is sooooo super friendly it's ridiculous!

Something that also helped solidify my first experience here is that it was Bham Art Crawl time and we were served delish jalapeno margaritas and there was even a Henna Artist in-house displaying her talents.

All in all, very awesome place that you should check out if you're wanting to explore something a tad different in the city. Right next door to Reed Books if you're familiar!

It was a nice store. Melissa was very attentive and helpful even though I was just browsing. I love all things fair trade, even though it's a little pricey I will be back. It had a great clean atmosphere. Definitely give this store two thumbs up!

Such beautiful items! Love the diverse and unique products, as well as the reasonable pricing.

We were finally able to stop by today. We took home an amazing bag that I at first thought was for myself but my husband is quite impressed with it (it may end up being his). We will be back. I look forward to doing a lot of Christmas shopping at Sojourns!

Sojourns has a great selection of cashmere, alpaca, linen, cotton and so much more of shirts, pants, wraps, purses, shoes and ponchos. Melissa (the owner) also carries earrings, bracelets, necklaces in different metals and fibers. She also has candles, dishes, blankets, ornaments, gift cards, chocolate, metal animals, nativity scenes, soaps, lotions and so much more.

Unique store for housewares, gifts, and products. There are a number of local, custom, and unique to Birmingham items as well. My first stop for gift giving, fair trade chocolate, shea butter, and greeting cards.

Such a cute shop! They have so many unique gift ideas and they are all fair trade. Great prices and very helpful staff!

Please be sure to go here!! Her fair trade merchandise is astonishing and varied. She has poured expertise and passion into the place, full of fun gifts for all ages and interests.

A lovely store with an amazing assortment of beautiful crafts from around the world. Love the concept of fair trade and grateful for the good work this business is doing.

One of my favorite places to shop! Excellent selection, and service.

Most awesome gift shop, with unique items for all. Owner is extremely knowledgeable;. A great, fun place to support fair trade!!!
