You may have known about Fair Trade coffee, chocolate and bananas increasingly available for sale around Vancouver, but did you know that you could also purchase Fair Trade clothing, textiles and jewellery? If you are curious to learn more about where these products come from, what Fair Trade means for clothing and jewellery, or are ready to start browsing in anticipation of that December holiday that-will-remained-unmentioned – this is a great place to start.
