Fair Trade Fortnight 2011

Fair Trade Fortnight 

From the 7^th to the 22^nd of May it is fair-trade fortnight

One of the latest ‘buzz’ words in the children’s industry is fair trade and it is for very good reason. Fair Trade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world.

So why not shop with a social conscience!

Here at Kids Fashion Review, we have gathered together some of our favourite items  from our favourite Fair Trade supporting retailers!
