Visit to Agrocel – Organic Fair Trade cotton farmers in Gujurat, India
There are a total of 1005 farmers (all of which are Fairtrade, 672 farmers are organic certified too). It’s an incredibly beautiful place, 20 miles from the salt marsh and close to the border with Pakistan.
Geetie Singh – always giving me food for thought.
Geetie and her lovely daughter Mabel
Geetie runs the Duke of Cambridge the award winning gastro pub that serves organic and seasonal food. I met Geetie on a shoot – she was ‘modelling’ with me for some Women of Tomorrow/Social Entrepreneurs/Cool Chicks/Feminine Economics magazine article – we were standing in a studio looking a bit awkward – as we’re not models. She looked gorgeous and they were forcing her into conventional fashion (I’d told the editor I’d only wear Fair Trade fashion!) and I knew she’d prefer to wear People Tree too! We got talking and haven’t stopped since.
By Hand: The Fair Trade Fashion Agenda
“For every beautiful garment People Tree makes, there’s an equally beautiful change happening somewhere in the world.”
- Safia Minney
In 1995 People Tree set out to prove that organically grown, hand-made, community-produced fashion could be successful. As a result ‘By Hand’ was created to tell the story behind Fair Trade fashion and to celebrate the artistry of those who make and design for People Tree.
