Well, here we go. Fair trade from Africa - but to be honest, when you see these pieces of jewellery you will agree with me: they are absolutely stunning. I could not resist placing a substantial order when I saw them. The quality is outstanding for the price and of course, they are all fairly traded meaning only local artisans were employed and they received a fair price for their stunning creations.
I like the idea of supporting other countries apart from Africa. And although Brazil is doing quite well economy wise (Volkswagen produces their Polo there - it drives with ethanol and that is made from sugar canes. Still, they don't cut down the rainforest for it but use the land that has either been neglected or convert unviable crops into ones that bring the money in. And they use all of the ethanol themselves - no export here because they use it all up themselve. Talk about a green country. Why can't we do something like that in Europe? We have wine lakes, butter mountains, milk seas... surely the land that is overproducing all that could be turned to better use) it is far from being a rich country.
The new collection is launched on 28th March 2007.
I am sure you will love it. And you can buy with a clear conscience.
Kind regards
Sabine
