FAIRLY TRADED FASHION
Fairly traded or ethical fashion means that clothes and accessories have been produced in an environment that treats the producers fairly. This means that the cotton growers and those involved in clothing manufacture receive a living wage for their labour, their rights at work (freedom of association, a suitable working environment and the right to form unions, for example) are protected, women and men receive equal wages, children are protected from slave labour, workers are free from physical, emotional and sexual abuse and local communities are invested in. Working for an ethical company empowers people in the developing world to improve not only their quality of life but the life of their families and communities; a fair wage is a basic human right, it is an expression of JUSTICE. Clothing that's not ethically produced means exploitation and injustice; it's all about rewarding good practice, the more ethical products you buy the more can be made and the impact of fair trading can grow and grow.

WESTRAY- A FAIRTRADE ISLAND
Westray and its neighbour Papay are two stunningly beautiful islands that form part of the Orkney Islands, just off the north coast of Scotland. Not only is the scenery breathtakingly fabulous but both islands have registered Fairtrade status! This means that despite their remote position, you can buy all of your favourite Fairtrade snacks and provisions as well as more exotic products like Fairtrade mulled wine, seeds and gardening supplies- a haven of fairly traded love! Jump on the ferry to Orkney mainland and you’ll also find Trenabies Gift Shop- a dedicated ethical trading shop (see Kate’s Korner) stacked full of fairly traded dresses, casual and smart clothes, jewellery and scarfs.
