ethical junction

Cocoart is based in Brighton (UK). It aims to support indigenous tribes in Brazil by helping to retail their crafts over the internet. We buy our products directly from Brazilian indians; some of them we know for over 20 years. During this period we enjoyed a mutually fruitful relationship.The natives enjoy our presence and we exchange gifts and information. We aim to increase our sales so that we can deliver more money to these populations, which we admire very much. These are very friendly people. We promote the use of natural jewelry, made of seeds, pods, nuts and other natural materials as way of avoiding industrialized products, like plastics and metals. The harvest of seeds for jewellery purposes is sustainable and the natives have been learning how to plant the seeds they need in order to perpetuate and increase their seeds output. The production is totally organic as most of the plants have grown naturally. Only recently the indians started planting the species that provide the sees they want. These populations haven't got access to chemical fertilizers or pesticides. In fact, they don't need this stuff as they live in a very privileged area which is free from most pests.
