Welcome to FairTrade Fashion Forward's Blog.

Above you can see our new Jumbo Marble Emerald Bangle. Inspired by the lush greenery of Thailand and our mission to support sustainable fashion in Canada, this bangle is a great summer accessory that can make you feel as good as you’ll look with it. All our bangles are vegan and made from organic mango wood, which means you’ll be adding some sustainably sourced jewelry to your collection next time you get a package from FairTrade Fashion Forward.
We decided to start selling our new Golden Jumbo Marble Bangle since it reminded us of the warm sunsets of Thailand. Each of our new bracelets is a breeze to slide on and off thanks to the wrist cut-out and since they come in three comfortable sizes, they’ll fit any size or style!

Green isn’t just a movement anymore - it’s a way of life. Think about using environmentally friendly products in your day-to-day life. Throw out those plastic, vinyl and rexine products. Bags, jewelry and other natural products made from bamboo, coconut shells, etc., not only let you breathe easy, but cause less pollution too.
