Fairtrade and ethical issues are very important to us. We have had lengthy discussions with various bodies to promote and source Fairtrade goods where at all possible. All the suppliers we use conform to recognised trading practise and labour laws in their country of operation. We will continue to support the aims and ethical concerns of the Fairtrade Foundation. If you wish to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are based on the coast of Cardigan Bay in rural Mid Wales with a backdrop of hills and mountains. Environmental issues have long been important to us.

Recycling: it is company policy to cut out waste and recycle whenever possible; all boxes are re-used for despatching orders. We are also supplied with boxes from a local food company who would otherwise have to throw them away.

Bagging: all garments are folded and packed in light polythene bags. If you would prefer not to have your garments bagged, please let us know.
