WIN PRODUCTS WITH PURPOSE

YOU COULD WIN £ 100 TO SPEND ON THE UNIQUE AND ETHICAL WARES AT INCLUSIVE TRADE, PRODUCTS CREATED TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR PLANET

When you pick something out of your drawer to wear, you want it to make you feel great. Even more of a feel-good factor is being assured that the products have been sourced ethically and that you know the impact that your purchase has on the planet and on the people who have painstakingly made them.

Founded in 2017, inclusivetrade.com was created to make ethical shopping easy. You’ll discover products that are stylish, rare and beautiful – but have all been created to have a positive impact. Their ‘Shop by Impact ®’ ethos means being able to make choices about the affect you want your purchase to have on the world, guided by four simple principles: environmental, social, gender inclusivity and preservation of craft skills. You can discover more about these on their website.

To introduce you to its fantastic makers and one-of-a-kind products, Inclusive Trade is giving away a £100 voucher to one lucky reader. Here are a few ideas on how you could spend it… Paradise Fashion hand-weave beautifully soft cotton scarves in Ethiopia, naturally dyed with the likes of turmeric and coffee grounds – ideal for wearing all year round, meanwhile you can take pleasure wearing the delicate jewellery from Eden, comforted by the knowledge that their innovative programme helps to support girls and women who have been trafficked. And for sporty types, Yogacycled produces uniquely illustrated activewear made from recycled plastics.

In addition to one main winner, two lucky runners up will each receive a block-printed tote bag by Aarohan, handmade in India. To see a video of the artisans at work, visit The Simple Things’ Facebook page. Discover the full collection at inclusivetrade.com
