Ascension - the new Adili

Info:  We thought, "if only there was a department store where every collection on offer had the highest possible eco credentials. Where fairly made, organic and recycled products sat side by side, beautifully crafted and desirably chic".

So, we set out to create just this and have filled it with over 80 of the best sustainable and fair brands from around the world. Adili's philosophy is both idealistic and simple: to bring you lovely, lifestyle things made beautifully, made fairly, and wherever possible, made from organic materials. We're working towards eco-perfection all the time – sometimes we reach it, sometimes we know there's a way to go. But we do everything in our power to get it right, closely monitoring supply chains, supporting suppliers, measuring and validating ethical credentials.

Blinking Sun

Info:  If you are concerned about the environment and are interested in how technology can help, why not check out some of the solar garden lighting products at the Blinking Sun website. You'll be amazed at how technologically advanced and pleasing to the eye these products are. Patio and decking lights, solar security lights and garden lamps and lanterns are all on offer. All the products featured are solar powered, and so environmentally friendly, and easy to install.

Butterfly Treasures

Info:  The goods, art and crafts which I am glad to offer, come from all over the world and represent small co-operatives, art workshops, individual craft workers and artisans from Vietnam, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Kenya, Zambia, Mongolia, Philippines and and others. These goods are fairly traded.

Chandni Chowk

Info:  Specialises in textiles, hand made in India and Bangladesh by wonderfully skilled crafts people to a very high quality. We are a fair trade company producing two main fashion collections annually (spring / summer and autumn / winter) along with several satellite collections, usually with something extra special about them such as our Tussah silk collection or organic cotton range. We also have a constantly updated Interiors collection which follows no set seasons, it simply grows and changes as and when inspiration dictates. To compliment both of these departments, we have a range of accessories and jewellery.

Environmental, fair trade and ethical issues are as fundamentally important to Chandni Chowk today, as they were when the company first started up in 1978. We are members of BAFTS (The British Association for Fair Trade Shops), both as importers of fairly traded goods and as retailers of fairly traded goods.

Our aim is simply to try minimise our impact on the environment. We only use natural fibres and are working hard to develop our organic cotton collections — we would love all our products to be organic, but have had great difficulty in sourcing genuine and certifiable organic fibres. We believe that our principal suppliers of textiles from India are representative of the very best of contemporary practice, combining sound commercial judgement with an uncompromising belief in fair and sustainable economic partnerships, and a continuing programme of development of more environmentally 'kinder' projects.

Draper's Organic

Info:  We believe it is unnecessary to compromise on style, cost or comfort in order to choose green. We have therefore designed our own range of hemp shower curtains, mix and match hemp homewares, eco-shopping bags, hemp fabric and accessories, which we believe, along with our organic cotton babyclothes and sanitary products, offer a great and affordable alternative. We hope you will agree!
