Yesterday, ethical brand People Tree launched a summer sale, offering up to 75% off of a whole range of items. People Tree is a pioneer in the ethical and Fair Trade fashion arena. They have a Fair Trade policy, to pay producers a fair price and aid some of the world's poorest communites and an eco-policy, to promote natural and organic cotton farming, avoid damaging chemicals, protect water and forest supplies and use natural and biodegradable substances where possible. People Tree is a registered member of the International Fair Trade Association (IFAT), which stipulates ten standards that Fair Trade organisations are required to follow and the brand works with 50 Fair Trade groups in 15 developing countries, helping the world's most marginalised communities use Fair Trade to avoid the poverty trap. Their designs are stocked in over 30 Fair Trade and independent shops around the United Kingdom, in Topshop's flagship store in Oxford Street, London, as well as being distributed to a range of other countries. Here are a few of my favourite bargains!
1) Delia Summer Dress, cut from £38 to £19 - 100% organic Fair Trade cotton. 2) Greek Tunic Top, cut from £28 to £21 - 100% organic Fair Trade cotton. 3) Emma Embroidered Blouse, cut from £36 to £9 - 100% Fair Trade cotton. 4) Amazon Leaf-Print Skirt, cut from £45 to £36 - 100% organic Fair Trade cotton. 5) Three-Quarter-Length-Trousers, cut from £45 to £22.50 - Fair Trade cotton. 6) Jute Safari Bag, cut from £18 to £13.50 - Fair Trade.
Ethical fashion has come on in leaps and bounds. Gone are the associations with hugging trees and dancing with mythical creatures in the woods. Ethical fashion is innovative and creative and you can be a fashionista with an earth conscience. This blog features news, updates and opinions on the ethical fashion world. If you want me to style you, my website is Ecostylist.co.uk.
I am an author, journalist, Reiki practitioner and teacher and web designer. I used to bumble along in life and wonder why everything kept going wrong, until one day I learned Reiki and discovered that my wrong turns in life were squandering my peace of mind and happiness. Reiki helped me connect to my intuition and become my true self. I discovered answers to the myriad of questions about myself and the universe that had persisted throughout my life. I realised that I needed to look within for answers and trust wholeheartedly in my intuition. It can seem hard to traverse through life, but to me our time on earth is but the blink of an eye compared to our overall journey, so be brave folks and trust in what you really know.
