While we’re on the topic of fair trade, check out Fairtribe, based closer to home, but still working internationally for global justice. Read more about the organization and their partnerships. For now, here is a collage of a few of their great looks that inspire me:

Shown here counterclockwise from the bottom right:

• The long Mia skirt shows off with back folds that create a nice flowing look. Throw on tights, boots and a cute top and you’ll be very eco chic indeed! Loose belt and invisible zipper on front. 100% organic cotton light jersey, AZO free dyes.

Pictured here are images of gifts offered by Traidcraft, the UK’s leading fair trade organization with a mission to fight poverty through trade, practicing and “promoting approaches to trade that help poor people in developing countries transform their lives.” Traidcraft’s unique structure - a trading company and a development charity working together - gives them a unique how trade can be made to work for the poor. How is fair trade defined?

“Fair trade seeks to transform the lives of poor producers in the developing world by enabling them to use their skills and resources to trade their way out of poverty. It seeks to challenge injustices in trading structures and practices that so often lead to the exploitation and marginalisation of poor people.”
