Other than a large diamond ring this what I typically hear from Claire during the build up to Christmas.

And, did you know that there are some fantastic eco alternatives for even the most fashion conscious consumer?

EDUN for example was launched in spring 2005 by U2 lead singer Bono and his wife Ali Hewson. They work on the premise of trade, not aid, as their range of clothes is currently produced in India, Peru, Tunisia, Kenya, Uganda, Lesotho, Mauritius and Madagascar.

They work on a 'micro-level' to help build the skill sets of factories, whilst bringing them up to the highest standards of fair wages and good working conditions.

What about GreenFibres which is a Devonshire (UK) based company who push ecological standards throughout their range. They offer one of the most comprehensive range of eco products in their field - anything from clothes, beds, bathrobes and hairbrushes!

These are just 2 fantastic examples and if your loved one is eco-minded they will really appreciate the careful thought and consideration you have put into choosing their presents.

You can always search for more eco friendly fashion companies via our search engine.

I just hope that Claire doesn't read this blog otherwise it will give the game away!

Take care x
