By helping these
proud people in the developing
world to sell their products, we
can help their families to get
out of the poverty trap, improve
their standard of living and
quality of life and appreciate
all the hard work that goes into
each individual item.
We also try to
keep a continuation of supply by
buying from the same suppliers,
which gives the families and
their workers confidence to have
some control over their lives,
without the threat of
unemployment and poverty.
Includes paying the workers a
fair wage, a clean and safe
working environment, sufficient
lighting, adequate breaks, never
using child labour and breaks
for religious holidays and
festivals.
Our suppliers
have come to realise that when
their workers are happy everyone
benefits.
Many recycled
fabrics are also used in our
designs and production, plus we
always try to source local
materials and fabrics and keep
environmental pollution to a
minimum.
