Fair trade fashion<br />
accessories from<br />
Earth Squared worth<br />
a total of £600 RRP<br />
Earth Squared is enjoying continued demand<br />
for its fabulous fair trade fashion accessories and<br />
to celebrate rising sales the company is offering<br />
three lucky <strong>Gift</strong> <strong>Focus</strong> readers a chance to share<br />
in the success story.<br />
Things have changed in a big way for ethical fashion accessories producer<br />
Earth Squared since its initial conception nine years ago - and the outlook<br />
for continued growth is looking brighter than ever.<br />
Earth Squared designs all its products in-house, working with fair trade<br />
accredited partners in Vietnam to bring them to fruition. The leap from<br />
retailer to wholesaler was made just three short years ago and since then<br />
the brand has grown significantly to over 450 accounts in the UK alone<br />
with new stockists on board this year from the USA, Europe and South<br />
Africa. Despite the difficult economic climate, the company reports that<br />
sales for spring 2011 have grown by 36% compared to last spring.<br />
With <strong>Home</strong> & <strong>Gift</strong>, <strong>Harrogate</strong> on the horizon, Earth Squared is looking<br />
forward to unveiling its brand new autumn/winter lines for 2011 at the<br />
show. The product range is expanding to include some fabulous new<br />
designs to appeal to a broader customer base.<br />
The stylish new quilted Charlie and Sarah collection indicates a new<br />
direction for Earth Squared and the fantastic, mix and match options with<br />
purses and scarves, and great detailing are expected to be a huge success.<br />
Also new for 2011 are the Ava and Lily collections in a winning selection<br />
of funky tweeds, classic cords and felts, all with scarves and purses to match.<br />
Classic designs like the Emily bag and Jersey Spot scarves return in a range<br />
of great new colours which, the company predicts, will continue to be<br />
strong and consistent best sellers.<br />
Earth Squared is proud to be a registered importer with the British<br />
Association of Fair Trade Shops (BAFTS). Given the current consumer-led<br />
trend towards a more ethical approach to fashion and with RRPs ranging<br />
from £4.99 to £34.99, Earth Squared believes it is in a prime position to<br />
provide fashionable, affordable and functional accessories to the market<br />
and anticipates continued growth into 2012.<br />
Earth Squared’s new ranges can be seen at <strong>Home</strong> & <strong>Gift</strong>, <strong>Harrogate</strong> in<br />
the Queens Suite, stand number 111 or visit the website<br />
