Walking into Jubilee Trading Company, many people’s first reaction is “it’s just so warm and inviting here!” That comes naturally in a place with so much heart and passion poured into it.

In a world where there are endless problems and constant negativity, Jubilee is an intentional “ray of sunshine” as their logo evokes. On a mission to foster hope and resilience by creating opportunity and empowerment through dignified work, the store sells goods that aren’t just beautiful, they make the world a better place.

Stephanie Edwards has been making and selling handmade goods since 2015, working out of her attic and selling online until the business moved to their current location on West Gaines Street in 2023. In 2019, she partnered with a leather artisan in Morocco. Taking what she learned selling her own goods, she began designing and selling his leather bags and decor in the US. That partnership grew so that now 6 people are employed in Morocco making leather goods for Jubilee.

These products are available in their storefront in Lawrenceburg, along with other collections Stephanie has curated. She works to intentionally support similar organizations making that same kind of impact in marginalized communities around the world.

Jubilee is unique, operating as a non-profit organization. They make it easy to use your purchasing power for good by stocking beautiful items that make a difference either locally or globally. In the shop you’ll find jewelry made in Southeast Asia by women rescued out of sex trafficking, essential oils made in Nashville by women in recovery, and shirts made from American-grown cotton and screen-printed just down the road in Leoma. They even employ vulnerable women in our own community, under the care of local agencies, to offer a positive, caring work environment as they get back on their feet.

Every part of Jubilee’s business is based on linking arms with others so that we can all grow and flourish. Whether it is an item from a small American mom and pop business or an artisan cooperative on the other side of the world, everything you buy at Jubilee directly improves the life of the person who made it, and you get to be a part of that story.
