how will fair-trade fortnight affect you?


It is fair-trade fornight and to celebrate I am giving a 'shining the light on sustainabilty workshop' at Debbie Bryan's studio and shop in Nottingham. I am discussing sustainable fabrics, raising the Eco issue, but I feel this issue also crosses over with fair trade.

Where possible we source in the UK and check with our suppliers where the fabrics and items have come to so we can provide a full history of our products.

I personally am using this fortnight to look more at my purchases both personally and in my business to see how my decisions will affect other people down the manufacturing chain. What changes will you look at making?
