Calico Moon: Fairtrade webstore to eclipse the high street!
Now it's almost the weekend, have you got the spending itch but want to make responsible choices? Calico Moon is a small business set up by a family who were becoming increasingly concerned at the impact their choices had on the world. Having four children of their own, they wished to do their bit in preventing the exploitation of other peoples’. There is a personal touch about Calico Moon which is charmingly old-fashioned, and their website gives extensive information about their supply chain and workers as well as the products and prices.
The products themselves are both practical and beautiful with gorgeous floaty clothes for women, bamboo towels and even school uniform clothes, amongst others.
There is also jewellery, bags, purses, chocolate, toys and household items, plus eco-friendly wrapping paper as a one-stop shop for lovely gifts. The owners are committed to Fair Trade and giving their workers in Nepal a decent job with good conditions. The materials used to make the products are sustainable and non-toxic, so you can feel thoroughly virtuous about spending your hard-earned cash with Calico Moon!
