Creative Women of the World

I love this store! The employees are friendly. There are always so many different items to look at. Love that they help women in third world countries and help them out of poverty. The items are so unique and creative.

Beautiful and unique products. I got a gorgeous scarf. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Don’t walk by - go inside!!

This store is incredible. Today I bought a beautiful bracelet and a “singing bowl” - the young woman who assisted me today was so wonderful! I’m sure I would not have spent the money on the bowl had it not been for our conversation and her heartfelt enthusiasm! It was such a great experience! I came home and started playing this bowl, and my cat ran from the other room to sit in front of me and she purred so loudly I couldn’t help but laugh!!! It’s so beautiful and calming I can’t explain it…. But it is absolutely one of my favorite treasures 🤍

I just ordered jewelry online from their store and the necklaces and earrings are gorgeous! I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to order online and also to see the jewelry looked just like the pictures on the website. The shipping was very fast. They also have an amazing cause and mission, lots of integrity, and high product standards so I just love everything about this store.

Wonderful atmosphere. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Great mission to support, as all the proceeds go back into helping more women in need. Very unique and beautiful hand made goods from all over the world, including: Kenya, Haiti, Guatemala, Argentina, India, and many others. Shopping with a cause at its finest. I highly recommend visiting this shop for a lovely and impactful shopping experience.

This store has always been my go to for getting special gifts. They have so many beautiful things in their store for such an awesome cause!! I wanted to get my daughters teachers something for teacher appreciation because of COVID their store was closed. So I placed an order online hoping it would come in enough time and they hand delivered it to my house 2 hours after I ordered!! This is such a special store doing great things!!

I stopped by this place with my brother and sister while walking around downtown. It's an incredible shop. I was mesmerized by the stories regarding some of the items they had in store, and some of them are heartbreaking, some of the heart-warming. I highly recommend this shop as something you check out while downtown. You'll love it.

This is an amazing organization, having a direct impact on the lives of people around the world working on getting out of extremem poverty, human trafficking, or disaster situations. Each product comes with the story behind it that talks about the product and its impact on the artisan. The boutique is beautiful, and carries some really amazing items from all over the world. Its the perfect place to find unique gifts that also impact the lives of the artisans that make them.

Stopped in at the recommendation of a (local) friend and was very pleased with what awaited me. Ended up buying a beautiful woven scarf and it has held up wonderfully and is SO warm. Will definitely keep this place in mind for future visits.

Love this store! This is the only place in the vicinity that carries my absolute favorite hot chocolate brand: Equal Exchange (slave free and delicious!).
Great place to buy gifts that do good beyond the person you’re buying them for!

The moment I walked into CWOW, I knew that this was a shop that I would be willing to vote for with my dollar. The atmosphere is eclectic yet chic, with well crafted items from all over the world. However, these products are not the typical cheaply made imports - they are handmade with love by women who live in oppressive environments in Third World nations. Items range from recycled tire leather wallets to bone elephant earrings to purses created with traditional Cambodia basket weaving techniques. Each is tagged with the story of the women who made the item, personalizing the shopping experience. I've made many trips to this hidden treasure downtown Fort Wayne, and there are always new items in stock. Everything I've ever bought has held up beautifully, enduring all of my wear and tear. I would recommend Creative Women of the World to anyone looking for a unique spin on the traditional shopping experience, one that is ethical and supports the development and empowerment of women across the globe.

So many different types of items to chose from. The items offered were unique and of good quality! The proprietors were very friendly and helpful! It was a great experience!

I absolutely love this place! I love supporting women and I’m all for the cause! I have been shopping here twice and I’ll be back very soon!!

This store is so unique all the stuff in it is made by women and all the money goes to women's proceeds like the shelters and stuff like that so if you happen to be downtown check them out

I continually look for ways to support the women of our world in any capacity, especially those who strive to make their own world a bit better. CWOW is a breath of fresh air!

I sponsor a delightful young girl from Rwanda through Compassion International and hope someday she will support women in some way as well. Blessings to CWOW!

The sales person who assisted us was pleasant and very knowledgeable. The items for sale were varied and well worth the purchase price. I would definitely shop here again.

Love their mission and love their things! The service is always friendly! Worth the stop when you're downtown!

All I need to say is come check it out. The staff and volunteers there are amazing. Ask them what they do and why they do it... and see for yourself!

You should hear about all of the work that they are doing all over the world.
Unique gifts and amazing staff to help you.

Unique gifts made by women around the world. Fun stuff.
