Well it's WORLD FAIR TRADE DAY!
I popped into Kumbeshwar Technical School to collect some samples yesterday, and found all the knit producers competing in a Knit swatch design competition run by Safia Minney at People Tree!
Safia and her team at People Tree UK and Japan has worked closely with Kumbeshwar for over ten years I think, developing their skills and increasing their productions consistently. And so over the years both People Tree and KTS have grown together, such a positive business relationship!
To celebrate World Fair Trade Day, People Tree had organised a design competition open to all producers at KTS, to produce a new idea for a knitted swatch. They were stitching all the swatches together (with each producers name on the back side) to make a giant bag for display! Great to see such creativity encouraged and supported!
