Things you will find
A large proportion of the stock is clothing, for example ladies skirts and dresses, tie-dye and printed tops, jumpers, hooded knitted zip jackets, hats, scarves, lots of bags etc etc. We aim to constantly source new and different items as well as maintaining stock of the most popular lines.
We strive to get the right balance between stocking fast turnover items usually from larger suppliers and ones which will add variety and interest from small co-operatives and NGOs.
We usually have a large stock of mens (or ladies!) grandad shirts lots of colours and sizes. Lots of mens jackets, fleece lined hand knitted from Nepal.
Best selling childrens clothes are hand knitted zip front hooded cardigans from Peru, every one unique, and from Equador, fleece button front appliqued jackets. A selection of tie-dye dresses and tops, patchwork pants and colourful fairy dresses.
Felted items are very popular and range from bags in every colour of the rainbow and styles to suit everyone to small brooches and hair ornaments in the shape of caterpillars, bees, flowers and strawberries.
Besides all this there are wooden toys, jig-saws, fabric Indian girl and boy dolls, organic cotton dolls clothes in a bag, wooden and soapstone craft items, handmade paper, Indian wall hangings, cushions, incense, large tree carvings etc etc all from fair trade suppliers.
There is a small range of Fairtrade mark foodstuffs, tea, coffee etc. We try and keep a large range of the fantastic Zotter Fairtrade chocolate bars made in Austria, a firm favourite with the regular customers and of course the most ethical Fairtrade chocolate Divine largely owned by the cocoa farmers themselves, some of whom have visited us here in Haworth.
We are proud to have been one of the first shops to sell the wonderful Oromo coffee from Ethiopia.
At Christmas we have hampers filled with food items, candles t-towels, or anything you choose we can make to order, all in Fair Trade baskets of course.
The other popular items you will find are recycled bottles. Glass bottles made into fantastic wine glasses, classy ones, finely etched with geckos or swirls and funky ones made from Sol or Corona or even Grolsch bottles. Another best seller also is locally made vegan soap in a wide range of natural scents.
We have a range of beautifully soft Mirasol alpaca knitting wool from Peru. A proportion of the sales of the wool have funded a much needed boarding school for the children of the shepherds near Lake Titicaca.
One other range we have is a selection of The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) merchandise. Although this is not classed as fairly traded it is something which is very special to me. The message of the Little Prince is one which struck a chord many years ago and I realised that there were more people in the world who think as I do.
