Here at Fairwind we continue to show that fair trade gifts and
accessories can be beautiful, of exceptional quality and highly
desirable – but not expensive!

Here are some of our new fashion accessories for 2009:

Mara linen scarves £15
These simple, stylish scarves come in a collection of natural, earthy
colours. Handmade from pure linen, they keep you warm in winter and
cool in summer. They are woven on handlooms, a traditional skill that
has remained relatively unchanged for generations. Available in green,
black, red and blue. Size: 70cm x 80cm.

 Recycled coin jewellery £29, £44
Inspired by an African tribe, the Dinka, the links on this jewellery
have been handmade by melting down coins no longer in circulation.
Semi-precious turquoise stones and glass beads have then been combined
to make this uniquely contemporary jewellery. Both the necklace and the
bracelet have extra links so that the length can be adjusted slightly.
Bracelet £29, necklace £44. Necklace 42cm long, bracelet 16cm long.
Also available with coral or lapiz lazuli beads. Single strand versions
also available.

Savannah leather shopper £69
This gorgeous leather shopper is stylish and practical. It is handmade from leather (a byproduct) and dyed using extracts of tree barks and plants by a co-operative of 40 families in Rajasthan. The bag is lined with a pretty floral fabric and contains a large side pocket with zip to secure any valuables. Size: 28cm x 14cm x 34cm. A Savannah leather satchel/case will also be available from May.
