IDEA Design Fustal/Soccer Ball: "I'm Only One" Rainbow Ball

I do not know anything about soccer or fustal (indoor soccer), but I do know this month is the 2010 World Cup and I love the cheery appeal of this exuberantly rainbow colored fustal ball by IDEA Design.

The ball is named "I'm Only One" as the Pakistan fabricators are allowed to be creative in choosing the color arrangement, making each ball's patchwork pattern unique.  At $72, the balls are pricey, but they are Fair trade certified and each is packed in an organic cotton bag fabricated by a Japanese company employing disabled adults. From each sale, a small donation goes to a mine clearance program in Cambodia.
