Abstract
⺠I explore the effects of Fair Trade certification programs on uncertified artisans. ⺠I draw on fieldwork with a craftswomen's cooperative in the Ecuadorian Andes. ⺠I distinguish between material and semiotic impacts of Fair Trade certification. ⺠Certification impedes many artisans' attempts to join the Fair Trade system. ⺠Labels belie Fair Trade's goal of lifting the veil on commodity fetishism.
