A brand's credential doesn't always cover every product it makes. How we vet brands

Why buy a fair trade pottery mug?

A handmade mug is shaped, fired and painted by hand, so each one is a little different. Fair trade pricing pays the potters and painters for that time. Every brand here is vetted against fair trade standards before it's listed, including fair wages, safe working conditions, and no forced or child labour. If you don't need it, don't buy it. If you do, buy it fair.
