How it made me one of the coolest mums in the world… Second to Sophi Trunchell of course! (Sophi runs Divine chocolate, the deliciously Fair Trade chocolate company that works with Ghanaian cocoa farmers).

I’ve been working in Bangladesh – probably my favorite country in the world. It was shocking to see so much land, homes and fields lost to the floods this year. We all expected the giant flood that comes as a ten year phenomenon to happen next year, not this. So now people are left wondering whether the cycle was ahead of itself or whether next year’s will be even worse. But why worry about the future when there is so much to do now rebuilding homes and day to day living?

Just a quick entry to say do take a look at this Our favourite illustrator Chris Haughton has written a great blog on how he comes up with his designs. Many of these are hand printed in Bangladesh on hand made paper, take a look! We don’t just make clothing in Bangladesh we make handicrafts too!

As you may have seen on the news recently Bangladesh and has been devastated by recent flooding caused by unusually heavy monsoons across the region. Many of you have you have written to us, concerned for our producer groups in the effected areas and so I wanted to update you on the situation.
