What is Fair Trade?

People often ask: Why fair trade?

When Tumi started in 1978 the word fairtrade was not used in the same way as it is today. But there are organisations in the UK such as Tearcraft and later Tradecrafts and Tumi who developed the concept and tried to show others that you can make viable business in a capitalist society whilst being fair and just with the people who provide you with the income, often the artesans who live in developing countries.

Mini animals & figures

These animal figures are carved out of tagua, also known as vegetable ivory, the seed of a palm tree that grows naturally in rainforests across Latin America. Tagua bears great resemblence to ivory, hence the name vegetable ivory and is the ultimate ethical alternative. These animals are carved by hand and all sit or stand on a tagua base.
