All wooden elements in kit from FSC sources in the UK and the packaging is recycled and recyclable. made by Tara
Tara (Trade Alternative Reform Action) defends the rights of the poor, employing only adults, offering them advance payments so they can buy materials, and giving them the security of long term contracts.
They run campaigns against child labour and have established sixteen schools and vocational training centres for children from poor families, which over 700 child labourers have attended to date.
Mosim, a jewellery maker from one of TARA’s beading groups said she puts her money in a savings account, which she is saving to put towards her dowry. The project allows her to learn a professional skill, earn an income and spend time with people her own age in a country that rarely allows women to leave the home. Mosim even made her first visit to Delhi recently to participate in Tara’s annual producer meeting.
You can support Tara’s work by buying the unique women’s jewellery created by Mosim and the other TARA artisans.

Since it began trading in 1996, Greenfibres has grown each year, both in terms of sales and product range. This is partly due to a growing awareness of the ecological consequences of our collective purchasing decisions, and partly a result of increasing concerns over the effects on our health of everyday household products.
Greenfibres are trying to push the ecological standards of their products higher all the time and are often the first to offer them in the UK. They appreciate that they need to be aware of their carbon footprint as well as the way in which a product has been cut, sewn, and trimmed, so with manufacturing facilities in Devon and close co-operation with producers abroad, they are able to influence the production processes to take account of all ethical and ecological issues.
This beautiful Jacobs Wool Rug is one of GreenFibres best sellers and would make a beautiful contribution to any home!
Jacobs Wool Rug
Made from pure natural wool from jacob sheep which are reared organically in Scotland. The wool is untreated and undyed and each rug is unique varying in colour scheme and pattern.
The rugs are generously proportioned (approx 220 x 180cm)
