About Fabulous Fair Trade

I started Fabulous Fairtrade because I was seeking a new challenge after running a successful Bed & Breakfast business for many years, in partnership with my husband. At the same time, I wanted to help people in the developing world and selling their products seemed to be an obvious way to go.

I passionately believe in the principles of fair trade - that people should be paid fairly for what they produce, that they should be provided with decent working conditions and are not discriminated against in any way. Also of importance to me is that no child labour should be used.

The products on this website are hand-made by individuals, family groups, communities or small businesses from around the world. Every purchase makes a difference to these peoples’ lives, helping to lift them out of poverty, to provide for their families and to improve their quality of life.

We aim to limit damage to our own environment by using recyclable packaging. We also re-use packaging sent to us in parcels received from suppliers, thus reducing waste sent to landfill.

I sincerely hope you enjoy shopping with us. Your custom and support means a great deal to us all.
