Launched in 2009, Outsider is based around the premis that “Ethical fashion should look just like fashion”. Creating beautiful garments…
People Tree
For every beautiful garment People Tree makes, there’s an equally beautiful change happening somewhere in the world. They like to think of it in terms of their little shoots-and-roots motif. They provide you with exclusive fashion – the shoots – while at the same time they work deep down through the roots, improving the lives and environment of the artisans and farmers in developing countries who work to produce it. It’s Fair Trade throughout.
In order to ensure People Tree fashion meets the Fair Trade principles set out by, they work closely with 50 Fair Trade groups in 15 countries, to bring benefits to people and the planet at as many steps of the production process as possible, and including growing, weaving, dyeing, embroidery and stitching – helping alleviate poverty in the world’s most marginalized communities.
People Tree also work to ensure that they pioneer ecologically sound methods of production and minimize environmental impact. Not only is most of their cotton certified organic and Fair trade, all their clothes are dyed using safe and natural dyes. And they source as many products as they can locally, choosing natural and recycled products over toxic, synthetic and non-biodegradable materials.
