The Ibu community has been an incredible gift. I've formed wonderful friendships with people who also share an interest in the mission and values that Ibu amplifies. I cherish my Fringe Road experiences and can't wait to create more amazing memories with our global Ibu family! —

Fringe Road: Colombia and Morocco

Traveling on an Ibu Fringe Road Adventure to Kenya with my two daughters gave us memories we will never forget. It’s strengthened our mother-daughter relationships and our commitment to support women all over the world.

The Fringe Road trip was a dream come true. Working the past seven years with my mom at B.Viz Design has been quite a learning experience, and this trip was a textile Mecca. This is by far my favorite trip we’ve done!

IFAM and IBU share the important mission of creating stronger markets and greater impact for artisan entrepreneurs and their circles. It is always more fun when we can team up to fulfill that mission together! We can't wait for The Fringe Road to lead to the International Folk Art Market!
