How fast is People Tree growing?
Growth has been strong since People Tree launched in the UK in 2001 with UK sales growing 40% in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 30% in 2006. In 2003 People Tree started exporting a range to Italy and in 2004/2005 People Tree had a small temporary organic cotton collection in Selfridges. The 2006 Spring/Summer collection saw People Tree launch Fair Trade fashion on the UK high street in earnest with their concession in Topshop’s flagship Oxford Circus store in London. This started as a month-long event during fair trade fortnight, but due to the success of the concession it has doubled in size and continued into Autumn Winter 2006. Topshop also now stocks People Tree organic cotton babywear, and a range of exclusive knitwear accessories. At the end of February 2007 an exciting collaboration between Topshop and People Tree was launched.
