What Jess sais from Melbourne based fashion label BHALO, a fair trade design company:
Thanks for your interest in Bhalo!
Bhalo works with a fair trade producer in rural Bangladesh called Thanapara Swallows whos women workers hand loom and hand embroider our cotton and silks. Unfortunately our producer has not yet obtained the official organic certification, however we can say that they are in the process of getting certified and working hard to convert the whole village to organic farming. It is a challenge however to convince farmers to switch over, as it requires education and the first few harvests are generally pretty poor, and many of these farmers are struggling to make a living already. Because of this certification issue they have lost a few potential buyers, however we have decided to stick with them while they develop, and prevent workers from losing jobs and becoming even more marginalized. It definitely helps to have financial assistance from abroad while they set up the process.
I adore the grey dress with the abstract print. So easy and you can wear it 24 hours. Just add some accessories and your ready for the night! Please visit Bhalo on-line shop and there informative and happy blog.
