These here organic cotton shopping bags are going for £11 in Bishopston Trading's summer sale. They're just one of Bishoptston's dozens of products - clothes, homeware, kids stuff - made from organic cotton grown in north India and stitched together by a well-paid bunch of tailors in south India. UK West Country denizens can head down to one of the eco-tailer's five shops, or you can order via email from the company's website.
