Spangled Ferrett Fashion
If you are in New Zealand and are looking for eco friendly, fair trade fashion, then head over to Spangled Ferrett. They are a New Zealand (Waiheke Island) based company, run by a couple of Brits, who produce clothing and soft furnishings with recycled silk saris from Nepal. Many of their products are now made in Nepal in small communities at fair trade prices.
They have received quite a bit of attention in the media of late:
The signature fabric used for their hats, bags, shawls and cushions is a yarn from Nepal made out of recycled silk saris. Brightly multicoloured and soft, it makes a very warm and tactile fabric once knitted or woven.
The Spangled Ferret jewellery range uses sterling silver and recycled glass beads sourced from Ghana. The T-shirts are all American Apparel and hand stencilled using water based paints.
It is clear that Gina has spent a lot of time and effort making sure all the products under the Spangled Ferret label are environmentally friendly, ethically sourced and Fair Trade.
It would be nice to see them in Australia in the near future.
