If you are looking for something unique and beautiful, with a compelling story, something which enriches and empowers economically challenged producer communities  – you have come to the right place!

View our selection of ethically made products sourced from all over the world, such as women’s fair trade clothing that supports women in Ghana, handmade baby blankets from Bangladesh, artisan jewellery that finances the removal of landmines in Laos, cashmere scarves from Nepal and homewares from Zimbabwe.

We believe in the power of these ethical products to bring positive change. We have seen poverty and exploitation which people in challenged communities struggle with every day. We are grateful for the opportunities we have been given and work hard to empower others through just and fair trading.

We have sourced ethical fashion and fair trade gifts from organisations who pay their employees a fair wage, provide humane working conditions and give back financially to the producers community, giving them the power to bring their own positive change.

Fair Trade products are ideal for those who think globally, have a social consciousness and appreciate a quality handmade product, one with character and soul.
