People Tree

About Me

People Tree is the pioneer of Fair Trade and ecological fashion, making stylish clothing and accessories for women, men, children and babies. Our products are made to the highest Fair Trade and environmental standards from start to finish and consistently prove that it is possible to wear stylish, exciting and affordable fashion, at the same time as respecting people and the planet.

Fair Trade means far more than paying a fair price, we aim to use fashion as a tool to empower the world's most marginalised people. When you look at business like this – as a tool to support people – great things can be achieved.

As well as the mainline collections, People Tree has also created amazing designer collections with the likes of Bora Aksu, Richard Nicoll, Thakoon, Foundation Addict and Sam Ubhi.

People Tree has operations in Britain and Japan and is affiliated to a Japan-based environmental and social justice NGO called Global Village, founded in 1989 by British Fair Trade and environmental activist, Safia Minney. People Tree is a registered member of the International Fair Trade Association and, proving their credentials as the UK’s leading pioneer in ethical fashion yet again, they were the first UK fashion company to carry both Fairtrade and Soil Association accreditation on their designs, with over 50% of the collection made from organic and Fairtrade certified cotton.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
