Make this a Fair Trade Christmas
This Christmas when you are buying your Christmas Presents, try and spare a thought for the people who actually make the stuff that you buy.
By Buying Fair Trade you can guarentee that they are being paid decent wages, have decent working conditions and that the goods that you buy are not made by Children.

Let the music play!
We don't just sell clothes we have a massive selection of musical instruments in our World Music Dept!
Our beautiful instruments are all made in the traditional manner, the djembe above arrives as a tree trunk which is then turned on a lathe to hollow it out, it is then shaped on a smaller lathe and then handcarved with the ethnic designs. The skin is goatskin which is a byproduct of the meat industry. This in hand stretched over 2 - 3 days and then turned tp give a bright resontant sound. we sell quite a few of our professional djembes to professional musicians.
We also have karimbas, maracas, bird whistles, sound boxes. check it out!

Wrap up in our Winter Woolies!
Our ever poular winter woolies are back in stock!
We have slipper socks ( with hard wearing felt soles, as our knitters are budhist and do not beleive in using animal products). We have lovely handknitted scarves with pockets, fingerless gloves with mitten covers and our best selling fleece lined earflap hats.All our woolies are handknitted by Tibetan Refugess living around the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal from 100% natural wool. Funnily enough they used to use yak wool but our customers complained that they were too itchy, so now we use New Zealand Wool. It's sent over in big bales which is spun and dyed in Nepal, now that globalisation!
