One of the brands I’ve decided to consider Is People Tree. They have been around since 1991, and were founded by Safia Miney and put fair trade producers and garment workers, artisans and farmers at the forefront of the brand. They launched in the UK in 2001.
They were the 1st clothing company to receive the World Fair Trade Organizations Fair Trade Product Mark in 2013, and she also won the Best Organic Textile Product at the Natural and Organic Products Europe’s Awards.
The developments they have initiated that most the cotton they use is certified organic and Fairtrade, all their clothes are dyed using safe and azo-free dyes. Most these products are sourced locally, they choose natural and recycled products over synthetic and non-biodegradable materials and weaving fabric by hand which reduces the impact of global warming, they also ship as many of their products over sea instead of air.
