More clothing retailers to go fairtrade
Clothing chain Oasis and supermarket giant Sainsbury's are the latest in a lineup of shops to introduce fairtrade clothing, while Topshop is to expand its People Tree concession to coincide with Fairtrade Fortnight later this month.
Oasis will be selling a range of denim and jersey under the name 'Future Organic', initially to be trialled in 12 of its stores from April.
The garments will all be made under fairtrade conditions. Meanwhile Sainsburys, already the 'biggest fairtrade retailer in the UK' according to New Consumer, will be adding a range of fairtrade clothing to its existing TU label. The cotton items, which originate from farms in West Africa, will be added to the range in 66 Sainsburys stores this month.
Topshop is to stock more People Tree
items in its larger stores, and these will soon also be available to
buy on its website. The new range set to appear on 26th Feb is more
fashion-aware than ever, covering all the current trends, like
empire-line tunics and softly layered tops.
