RIP Ocarina™ FAIRTRADE Shop

About Me

SHOP ONLINE at www.ocarinafair.co.uk - click the link above!
Ocarina is a fair trade and eco-friendly shop based in Colne, Lancashire, selling high quality handmade products from around the world.
It's core mission is to transform the perception of Fair trade into one which ensures that Fair Trade products are not only seen as the ethically sound purchase option but also as high quality, unique and modern.
We are the only fairtrade shop in East Lancashire to provide access to a variety of Fairtrade and eco-friendly products including homewares, cards, gifts, wrapping paper, fashion, accessories, jewellery and kids stuff.
Ocarina is contributing to the global vision, as set out by the Fair Trade Foundation - to improve the livelihoods and well being of southern producers by improving market access, paying a better price, creating development opportunities for disadvantaged producers, especially women, and to protect children from exploitation.
We are also available for outdoor festivals with our 6ft x 18ft stall - just message me for details and to book us for your event!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Others interested in ethical shoppings, people who are helping to make the world a more loving and peaceful place through all creative outlets, people interested in the evolution of consciouness and conscious co-creation.
