Peruse jewellery and accessories come from all around the world – literally!
The jewellery comes from a cooperative that supports more than 400 families
in places as diverse as Mexico, Bali, India and Peru, Indonesia and
Thailand. Craftsmen are paid a fair wage for their items directly, rather
than through a 'middleman'. This ensures that they get paid
properly, without vague deductions that reduce their income. They work
in a safe and profitable environment. No children are employed – parents
are encouraged to send their children to school.
The bags and hats come
from Nepal in Northern India, where again, they are fairly traded. Many
of the items use recycled fabric – usually
silk from the ends of looms, cutting down on unnecessary waste in an
environmentally friendly way.
All of our items are made in small scale and
local family business, supporting communities which will benefit and
grow with fair trade. Go on, buy fair trade and add another
star to your halo!
