Hi! I've just gotten into Fair Trade, which is about ethical shopping. The idea, from what I understand, is that as consumer we can help combat child labor and unsafe working conditions in the countries that make many of the items that we use simply by being vigilant!
I was in a coffee shop in St. Simons Island, GA, called Wake Up Coffee, which deals in fair trade coffee and goods (gorgeous stuff), and I learned all about fair trade.
Does anyone one have anything to add? Or, more importantly, can recommend any online stores with fair trade goods that are fashionable?
The only website I know of, which I found out about through the coffee shop, is http://www.backroadimports.com. They have reeeaaally cute stuff from Turkey; especially the copper earring and the beaded handbags, and also not too pricey.
