Can I buy organic/fair trade fabric from People Tree?
We get our fabric specially manufactured for us, and because our aim as a Fair Trade organization is to keep as much of the benefit from making our clothing in the developing countries where our producers are based, we do not currently sell fabric on the roll. For sourcing organic fabrics try contacting: • Loop • PAN, the pesticide action network has a list of organic suppliers. They are currently trying to set up a wholesale company. • Bishopston Trading do Fair Trade handwoven materials on the roll. • The Hemp shop – for hemp fabrics and information about them. • The British Association of Fair Traders have some stockists of more unusual fabrics. • The Textile Directory is an online resource for anyone searching for people, places or products related to textiles in art, craft, fashion and interiors, including listings of where to buy fabric.
