We are a member of 'Fair Trade Australia and New Zealand'. We are actively involved with the 'Fair Trade NSW Networking Group' and facilitate the 'Fair Trade Newcastle/Hunter/Lake Macquarie' network group. We have been in business now for over 10 years and its been an amazing journey. We started with one rack of cloths and a few Up-cycled handbags. Now we have our label and we are wholesaling to boutiques across Australia. Due to demand, this year we are launching an online store to show case a few items, this is so customers who can't get to our markets or boutiques can now have the opportunity to purchase from our range too.
