Fair Trade |
|
making conscious decisions
thinking responsibly |
When
you think of Fair Trade and what this really means to you,
many thoughts may come to mind. As far as we are concerned,
it's not just about buying fair trade products like Nomads
clothing (which is a fairtrade label), it’s more about
awareness, and thinking about the effects of our actions and
choices!

Clothing is
just one aspect of the big picture. And we hope you can take
a few minutes to look into this view with us ~ in fact you
may very well have already done so. We are talking about looking
after ourselves ~ meaning all of us ~ every single being.
How we treat ourselves and how we treat others becomes interchangeable
in the larger scale of things. And as the saying goes "what
goes around comes around". Some may call this Karma ~
but really it’s just common sense in understanding how
the whole planet works, where we are all interdependent. We
all need to take more personal responsibility to make the
right decisions.
In recent years, the western world of commercial
gain has been put increasingly under the microscope by individuals
like you, becoming more aware. Today’s consumer is asking
a lot more questions about everything they buy. What we are
seeing happening is a growing consciousness that our overall
well-being is connected to the well-being of Planet Earth.
Buying Fair Trade and/or organic
clothing like T-shirts;
Shopping for Fairtrade products of all kinds; Recycling our
waste; Using less plastic; Drinking more water; Taking regular
exercise; Learning meditation and yoga; ~ all of these things
are helping ourselves while helping others. |
"Trade not
Aid"
We aim to follow the
guidelines and ideals of Fair Trade concerns throughout all
of our business relations with suppliers in India, and with
our customers back home. The following information should
give you some background information to help you understand
how we operate. We welcome any enquiries you may have and
hope that this will increase knowledge and support of Fair
Trade products.
Trading Standards
Nomads buy from established
manufacturers in India. We accept the price requested and
pay in advance to enable suppliers to buy their materials
without having debts and to ensure wages for workers are paid
on time. We work with our suppliers throughout the design
and production processes, making regular orders with the same
companies throughout the year. Through continued trading with
our suppliers and working towards improvements in quality
of product, we have watched their businesses grow and thrive
alongside our own. Nomads buy direct from the producers themselves.
This ensures that profit goes directly to the primary source
and is not gained by middle men or contractors. |
