A little birdy told me recently of a fabulous guilt free, jewellery website called made. All their products are designed by influential designers, then sourced and created within disadvantaged communities across East Africa. They train local artisans in new skills and provide fair wages and support. The powerful concept is the brainchild of Cristina Cisilino, an ex Fashion buyer. Her job took her to Africa and coupled with her belief in fair trade, led her to join forces with partner Gerson Barnett. They now have a successful business that is as their strap lines says, made by the people for the people. Already picked up by Topshop you can now shop to your hearts content knowing that you’re doing your bit.
