Another summer and another Harry Potter block buster bursts onto the scene bringing with it a deluge of screaming fans camping out for the faintest site of the stars of the franchise.
When the first Harry Potter was filmed no one would have imagined that Emma Watson would generate such interest from the media.
Roll things forward 10 years and she is a designer and ambassador for People Tree one of the emerging global names in ethical fashion. Their fair trade certified clothing has emerged as one of the main players in the ethical goods arena as they successfully combine cutting edge styling with deeply engrained principles on fairness and low ecological impact. They not only source the cotton on fair trade principles ensuring the growers receive a fair price for their produce but also are cetified by the Soil Association for their Organic line and have strict controls on the environmental impact from the dye stuff’s they use.
In 2009 their founder, Safia, won the The Observer Ethical Awards for Fashion and even the recessionary economic situation has done little to restrict the growth of the business in the last few years. Safia Minney has taken the product line from strength to strength.
Currently they are running their summer sale with some serious discounts so for some now might be a good time to try out some ethical apparel.
