The actual meaning of Fair Trade


Bora Aksu,
Designer,
UK

"I really believe that "fairtrade" is an over used description which shadows the importance of its actual meaning.

Living in a world which is far away from being perfect i believe we all have a responsibilty.

As a fashion designer its very important for me to keep every step of creating a garment from fabric to the end product under the same umberalla of purity.

Having a beautiful garment with such poor and ugly conditions behind its root does make the garment ugly despite what it looks like.

Thats why its very important for me to be part of such an umberalla of people who have the same heart and understanding."
