At Vested Interest Trading, our mission is simple: to import hand-made goods from around the world, to engage in Fair Trade and sustainable practices and to support global economies by working with artisan families in countries like Indonesia, Thailand and Nepal.

Since 1993, we have travelled across the world in search of unique and intriguing goods. Along the way, we made it our policy to buy only from family run, cottage industry businesses and never from large manufacturers, helping to ensure the viability and strength of remote villages and the men and women who inhabit them.

At home in Northern Ontario, we support local businesses through our consignment program. It allows us to offer organic honey, fresh produce, golden beef, natural soaps and maple syrup alongside our collection of art, furniture, clothing and home furnishings.

At Vested Interest Trading:

Our business is trade.

Our passion is travel.

Our family is global.

Our home is everywhere.

In good faith and friendship,

Jennifer McNutt Bywater & Brent Bywater
