Sourcing & Supply | Fairtrade/community suppliers

This group is for fairtrade, cooperative and community suppliers of fashion and textiles related products

Interested in profiling your company on the EFF website?

We are creating a new page on our website regarding fabric sourcing - particularly related to ethical fabrics. Our website is used by 1000's fashion brands internationally for information on the ethical fashion industry and we are creating this resource pooling information on sourcing ethical fabrics.

To be able to profile your company we would need information on the following:

1. Types of fabrics available
2. Minimum orders (if applicable)
3. Website and/or order contact details

Please send your information to Julie.Michael@ethicalfashionforum.com

    Hi Julie,
    Came across a company recently called Bishopston Trading Company who produce cotton fabrics ethically produced in India. Bishopston are an approved supplier for the Fairtrade Foundation, and are an excellent ambassador for ethically produced and traded fabrics. Worth knowing about if you don't already!
