Fair Trade Fortnight - Day 4

Today's warm fleecy sweater dress is by People Tree (these days they seem to be calling it a 'loopback  dress', with the same Patagonia boots as before. The websites states that "People Tree is a different kind of fashion business. We give customers an alternative to fast fashion. Slow Fashion means standing up against exploitation, family separation, slum cities and pollution – all the things that make fast fashion so successful."










My scarf today is hand-painted silk by local artist, Hilary Anderson, while the ear-rings come from My Fair World, and are also hand-crafted. Part of buying ethically is to support artists and the craft skills which add value and a unique quality to items.
