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.

The berimbau is a traditional Brazilian instrument thought to be of African origin. It consists of a large wooden bow with a metal string, which is pulled tight across the bow. At one end is a hollow gourd, often decorated, which resonates the sound of the bow when it is hit with a small wooden stick. There is also a shaker. The sound produced is a sort of wah sound which is very distinctive but hard to describe! It is used to accompany capoeira, now popular in England, an ancient Afro-Brazilian martial art that intertwines music and dance to create a unique form of self expression. |
