Our Fair Trade Policy

WearFair deals exclusively with fair trade producers. Our suppliers are members of the World Fair Trade Organisation, who make sure all artisans receive a fair wage for their work. In addition, our partner artisans receive advice and assistance in marketing their goods, financial assistance to finance raw materials for large orders, guaranteed prompt payment after the production is finished and guidance as to how to best incorporate technology and increase production efficiency into their workshop operations. Artisans also receive help in forging links with other training organisations who can provide additional technical assistance on a programmatic basis.

We are highly selective, and only engage in business contracts that bring the maximum benefit to our suppliers and our customers. We choose suppliers only if they meet the following criteria:

  1. They must be marginalized workers, in need of a fairer and more sustainable income than they have received in the past
  2. There must be complete transparency of commercial relations
  3. They must be based in developing countries

Once we have selected our supplier, we honour our contract with them in the following ways:

  1. All orders are pre-paid, so the artisans have the cash-flow to buy all necessary materials
  2. The trading relationship is established on a long-term basis, in order to allow the artisans to plan future growth
  3. We offer the artisans feedback on their products and are actively involved in the design process to make sure they are aware of current and future market trends

Please meet the artisans for their individual profiles.
