    Nice to meet you, Ingrid. We've been working with Thai and Lao women's weaving groups for several years now. Lots and lots of challenges, so I wish you the best; you can create opportunities for Cambodians if you persevere.

    Two resources that might be of interest:

    1. Nui, a Thai woman living in Australia, looking for outlets for her very fine merino wool (which come from her "four-legs silkworms" (a reference from her cultural point of view!): nuimilton@westnet.com.au

    2. Linda Drury of Floating Stone Silks: she works extensively with Cambodian dyers and weavers (at least for the last 5 years); tell her Ellen sent you! http://www.floatingstonesilks.com/

    Hope these leads are helpful.

    In fair trade,

    Hi Ingrid, thank you :)

    as far as eco-friendly leather sources, here in bangladesh i would say they are not there yet... the waste managment is really bad, harsh chemicals, water waste,as well as health protection of workers, its a really dirty business. they are work on cleaning it up and moving all the tanneries to one set area to contol waste an such. I dont have a great source for eco friendly leather but i would say china or india would be better, here is a link to a tannery that pategonia uses in china, but im guessing their minimum order would be high. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYpAlmV5sNw
