The End of an Era .............. and A New Beginning

 
We are leaving our Armadale store in Melbourne after many years.

The website is temporarily on hold, and will be back in action in the New Year.
 
Many new products will be available, as well as many favourites.
 
Please look out for them.
 
Our contact details will also change, and will appear on the refreshed site.
 
A heartfelt 'Thank you' to our many loyal customers, who have supported us so well.
 
Don't despair - 'We'll be back!'

Colourful, Versatile Kikois Are Here



 A Kikoi - what is that?

Take a leaf out of the Kenyan book, and get a Kikoi.

Use it as they do.

It's a sarong, a tablecloth, a throw, a shawl, a beach wrap, a picnic blanket... you name it.

And, as it's made of durable machine washable cotton, it will serve all these purposes for a very long time.

Have a look.

FAIR TRADE FORTNIGHT ENDS ON MAY 19



Still a fews days to go until the end of Fair Trade Fortnight.

It's a reminder to everyone to buy Fair Trade products.

Not just food or hand-crafts, but clothing, decor and more.

And not just this fortnight, but every day.

Next time you shop -
  • Ask where the products are made
  • Ask who gets the momey.
  • Ask how much they are paid.
It may be no big deal in the shop, but it's a very big deal in parts of the world, where people do not have a voice.

Mudcloth Throws just in from Mali - West Africa



We have just received a new consignment of these wonderful Traditional Textiles.

They are made from hand-woven cotton panels, sewn together, and decorated with patterns, using Mud, Bark and Leaf dyes.

This produces rich earth tones, as well as the natural white.

There is a huge range of variations in the designs: a tribute to the creativity of the makers who continue a long line of artists in Textiles.

Have a look for yourself -
