10% Discount for Hippyshoppers at Adili!

It's amazing to think that ethical fashion superstore Adili is only five months old, jam-packed as it is with fair trade, environmentally friendly clothing that doesn't compromise on style.

But successful shops are getting younger, and this new kid on the block has admitted it's not old enough to parade itself on the London Fashion Week catwalk just yet. However, to celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight (26th Feb-11 Mar), Adili is offering an exclusive discount for Hippyshopper readers: simply quote 'AD12' with your first purchase, and get 10% off any product. Sounds 'fair' to us!
