Sacramento

Zanzibar stood as a bastion of commerce and culture, a trading crossroads to half the known world. When visiting Sacramento, you must go to Zanzibar Trading Company & Zanzibar Tribal Art Gallery located in the center of Midtown -- 18th and L Streets.

 

Zanzibar's owners Scott and Josh  traverse the world over to bring back fantastic finds in fairly traded native handicrafts, tribal artifacts, African and Asian art, the finest sterling silver and semi-precious stone jewelry and exotic elements for your home and gift giving. The gallery offers a virtual market bazaar from Africa to India, Papua New Guinea to Peru..

 

Zanzibar, Sacramento's premier FAIR TRADE IMPORT store & gallery, is dedicated to only carrying sustainably produced and fairly traded items.

 

Their basic philosophy: Better, not cheaper, for the good of all people and the planet. They're not your typical import store - they carry handicraft as well as  many world-class museum quality pieces of artwork from famous, published artisans as well. Zanzibar values its long term relationships that developed with the artisans in over 100 countries throughout the years. The owners  have always preferred to work directly with the artisans rather than go through traditional middle men and catalogs. So come in, browse and ask the helpful staff what something is - where it comes from - or who made it! You'll be surprised at just how much stuff fits (neatly) into  this little store, in the heart of Midtown!
