What is Fair Trade

 

 

At Lucy & Mei we work hard to bring you the best selection of beautiful, organic cotton clothing without compromising our values.  We believe that our customers should have better choices when it comes to spending money on clothes.  We also want your purchases to be good for all involved in the making of the product.  Therefore, we seek out sellers that engage in fair trade practices

Faritrade is a unique concept which focuses on the empowerment and development of the poorest producers and workers in developing countries.  It is a program that is credible in the commercial world and one which brings about real change to those in need.  Faritrade is a strategy for fighting poverty.  Guaranteed minimum prices and a Fairtrade premium give farmers in Africa, Latin America, and Asia the possiblity to strengthen their communities and families through their own efforts and to improve their long-term working and living conditions.  Fairtrade helps smallholder producers and workers to have their say in the world market, gain recognition, and make their own decisions.  You will find a large variety of fairly traded items in the Lucy & Mei product line.  Simply Beautiful!
