Fashion meets fairness in our stunning range of fair trade jewellery. We believe what you wear can also stand for what you care about. That’s why our jewellery selection is carefully sourced from artisan groups around the globe who put people first. The truth is that  in many places, talented jewellery makers struggle with unfair wages and unsafe conditions. Big companies profit while the artisans remain invisible. At Harrogate Fair Trade Shop, we’re working to change that narrative.

To celebrate International Women’s Day we wanted to highlight the work of Mercy Imondi of the Mahalir Aran Trust in Southern India. Mahalir Aran meaning "Women's Fortress,” offers a safe home to over 100 vulnerable women and children, along with food, healthcare, education, plus training and employment opportunities.
