The anti-consumerist has quashed my disappointment about the fact that local Sainsbury's sold out of Anya Hindmarch 'I'm not a plastic bag' bags within minutes this week and I did not get one (if you don't know what I'm blathering about see this New Consumer article). Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing them paraded by the lucky few at the Fair Trade Fashion Show being held next Friday (4th May 2007, 7pm, at the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea*). Following from the huge success of the fashion show last year, once again the Swansea Fair Trade Forum are organising the fashion show to showcase the exciting range of fair trade fashion and accessories available in South Wales. I can announce (drum rolls, please) that Green Beach will have a stand there, with all our summer range. As a result of our launch, we are holding off on mail order for another week (unless you are absolutely desperate - email me).Hope to see you at the show!

Green Beach Website of the Week:-
Regular readers will know I love Howies clothing and the new summer stuff is now available on their website. I would like to point you in the direction of the 'seventh wave' boardshorts (available for both men and women) made ingeniously from recycled polyester and stripy vests made using recycled cotton (pictured). May I suggest, unashamedly, that Green Beach jewellery would look fab with such an outfit. By the way, has anyone checked out Howies' Little Big Voice lectures, guidance for anyone who wants to start a business or make a noise in a socially and ethically responsible way?
