Sojourns — Local services in Birmingham

Very unique and cool store... bottom line!

This trade shop is comprised of art, handcrafted pottery, toys, clothes, jewelry etc from all around the world. All prices are fair considering each item was handmade. You will also find a lot of notes about the items posted throughout the store. This will include info about the region of the world the item is from and even insight into the lives of the individual people who have crafted some things. The store is packed with goodies but doesn't feel cramped or hard to navigate. Includes restroom/dressing room(s) if you needed to try on any clothing. The staff is sooooo super friendly it's ridiculous!

Something that also helped solidify my first experience here is that it was Bham Art Crawl time and we were served delish jalapeno margaritas and there was even a Henna Artist in-house displaying her talents.

All in all, very awesome place that you should check out if you're wanting to explore something a tad different in the city. Right next door to Reed Books if...

Fair Trade does not equal expensive nor poor quality. I have gotten some of the very best items for my home from Sojourns. We have items in our living room, kitchen,and our daughter's room. It is a must stop for a unique gift. From ornaments, to handmade paper, jewelry, puzzles, food, kitchenware, you name it, Melissa has it! The best part is I know the people who made it are paid a fair wage and I am supporting a local, small business. I'm no hippie - I want quality and a good price! This place...

Sojourns has a little bit of everything, and that everything is all fair trade (ethically and sustainably produced & procured).

If you have one day in Birmingham, this store is worth the 12 minute drive from Downtown!

Vast selection of hand crafted goods, greeting cards, chocolates, textile goods, delightful children’s toys and one of a kind ethnic art.

Fantastic place to find beautiful gifts and a joy to browse. You will not regret...
