Bishopston Trading Company
Bishopston Trading Company was set up in 1985 to create employment in the South Indian village of K.V.Kuppam. In this partnership Bishopston would supply the designing and marketing skills and the capital investment in the form of advance payments and K.V.Kuppam the weaving and tailoring skills and the raw materials. We sell clothing for women and children made from Fairtrade certified organic cotton and have 5 shops in the West of England and 4 mail order catalogues a year. We have over 100 wholesale customers in Europe and around the world. We are members of BAFTS and IFAT and licencees of the Fairtrade Foundation.
