Autumn/Winter 2020
T R A I D C R A F T S H O P. C O . U K 3
Whilst still pioneering the future of fair trade, we have the following three themes very much at the heart of every decision we make. TRADE JUSTICE: We are painfully aware that 40 years of fair trade has not done enough to counter the incredible power imbalances in international trade. We are passionate about economic justice and believe that transparency is key in achieving this.
RULE BREAKERS When unfair trade was the accepted norm, we broke rules to change this. Over 40 years on, Fairtrade-certified commodities line shelves of supermarkets up and down the country, but our work is far from done... Join us, let’s break some rules together.
SOCIAL JUSTICE: We are actively, noisily passionate about equality: gender, religion, opportunity, regardless of background, heritage, experience or inheritance. ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE: We are increasingly concerned and worried about the killer effects climate change is having on our partners. We will bring people’s attention to the crisis which will be created if we overstep the UN’s ambition to pursue a limit to global warming of 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels.
Team Traidcraft T R A I D C R A F T S H O P. C O . U K
FIGHT FOR YOUR FUTURE We advocate less consumption. We believe buying less is buying right; investing in what is good, rather than chasing what is cheap.
TEAM TRAIDCRAFT We put transparency, respect and dialogue into commercial practice. Our culture, Holacratic structure and pay scale is part of our response.
Welcome TO AUTUMN/WINTER 2020
We hope that this catalogue finds you well and that you are adjusting to your ‘new normal’, whatever that may look like for you. The last few months have affected each of us differently, as companies and as individuals. At Traidcraft, thankfully, we have surfaced relatively unscathed, solely thanks to your continued support, and have learnt a lot of valuable lessons along the way. Despite being challenging, uncertain and often unsettling, the past few months have acted as a profound reminder to be appreciative of the things we may have previously taken for granted; things like family, friends, our homes and gardens, our physical and mental health and the privilege it is to have fully stocked cupboards to sustain ourselves with. This period has also taught us to consume more thoughtfully and consciously, to be resourceful in the face of adversity, to recycle, reuse and be less wasteful, and our planet is thanking us for it. We are grateful that we are able to look into the future of fair trade with hope and enthusiasm, the
same sort of emotions we had when embarking on this incredible journey over 40 years ago. This season, we have expanded our sustainable and future-proof product offering, which we hope you will love just as much as we do. You will notice that we are working with new, innovative partners such as Cycle of Good (p100), VENT for Change (p104) and Ngwenya Glassware (p82), all of whom have been imaginative with waste materials, and transformed them into recycled masterpieces. Whether you’ve followed our fight for social, trade and economic justice since the beginning, have recently embarked on your journey with us, or you’re somewhere in-between, we hope that you enjoy taking a moment to immerse yourself in our carefully curated collections and be inspired by the stories behind them. In peace, Team Traidcraft

We are very mindful of our heritage here at Traidcraft and being co-founders of the world fair trade movement could either mean a weight on our shoulders to uphold the original vision in all its glory, or a liberating sense of freedom to carry on breaking the normal rules of trade, whenever and wherever we can. We prefer the latter; guarding the flames, not tending the ashes. 4

Traidcraft is a Christian response to poverty. It was founded in 1979 by a group of Christians who wanted to challenge the deep injustices embedded in global trade. We want to remain true to our origins. We do not want to stop until trade is conducted fairly for the benefit of all who participate in the supply chain. We welcome everyone to join in our endeavour of making trade fair. We work with supporters of all faiths and none, and we work with farmers and artisans whatever their creed, ethnicity or religion. We believe that justice transcends ideology and individual beliefs.

Behind the Scenes
This season’s photoshoot was a little bit unusual, in that we socially distanced and wore face coverings at all times, but we still had great fun doing it, as always! We hope that you love the new images of our exciting and innovative product range this year.

For our photoshoots, we use family-run, local photographers, CTP - Creative Imaging, who are located in picturesque Northumberland. Apart from regularly running completely off-grid (thanks to 10 kilowatt solar panels on the studio roof), CTP - Creative Imaging have used their time during lockdown to plant a small orchard of apple trees in their grounds, to help offset their carbon footprint.

Everyday Fairtrade COFFEE BLENDS
We get a lot of questions about how our decaf coffee is decaffeinated. Our method is a simple, organic, toxic solvent-free extraction using CO2 and water. 1
First, the beans are soaked in water.
2 Then, under very high pressure, CO2 is added (in a superficial state, between a liquid and a gas).

3 The CO2 acts like a magnet and pulls only the caffeine out of the saturated coffee bean. The CO2 spares the aromatic and flavourful components within the beans, leaving you with the same delicious coffee, simply without the caffeine!

Here's a breakdown of the overall 'costs' section of the coffee bean diagram you can see on the front of the packaging:
Here, we’re breaking all the rules and publishing publicly (on the front of the packet, for all to see!) exactly how much farmers are paid, how much goes into shipping, roasting and packing and how much profit we make. This makes our coffee, to our knowledge, the first coffee in the world to do this.

• Building/warehouse costs including heating and electricity • D iscounts for customers (resellers - a 20% discount equals 99p which represents a large proportion of these 'costs') • D elivery costs (on average about 37p - or 7.5% of the cost of each product) • All IT costs • All legal/auditing/certification costs • All Marketing and Sales costs (advertising, marketing, trade events etc.) • All Product Development costs • All costs associated with trips to producers, external meetings etc. • C osts of running a closed pension scheme

When our ‘broken grain rice’ from Myanmar (formally Burma) was no longer needed for the discontinued GEOBARS and GEOSTICKS, we were left with 15 tonnes of perfectly good and tasty rice! We love rice here at Traidcraft HQ, but that’s a lot to get through, even for us! Only 25% of our ‘broken rice’ is actually broken, which we’ve mostly sieved out. We’ve packaged up the remaining long grain rice in Tropical Wholefoods bags. So, if you’re looking for a store cupboard staple, this is an excellent option.

CELEBRATING
YEARS OF THE VEGAN TRADEMARK
You’re probably all familiar with the instantly recognisable Vegan Trademark. You’ll see it on the packaging of many items throughout this catalogue, but how much do you actually know about this iconic stamp? As this year is a landmark anniversary of the Vegan Trademark, we thought we’d take you on a journey over the past three decades. Buckle up, off we go…
SO, HOW AND WHY DID THE VEGAN TRADEMARK COME ABOUT?
A Brief History of The Vegan Society… Founded here in the UK, in November 1944, The Vegan Society is a registered charity and the oldest vegan society in the world. The Society was founded by Donald Watson and his wife, Dorothy, along with four friends, who worked together to define and coin the word ‘vegan’ (the first and last letters of ‘vegetarian’), as a statement against vegetarians who ate dairy and egg products. 48 traidcraftshop.co.uk
The sunflower you see in the Vegan Trademark was taken from the original, hand-drawn Vegan Society charity logo – it’s simple, eye-catching and easily recognisable. There is still no legal definition of ‘vegan’ when it comes to product labelling. Products are therefore open to being mislabelled – either by companies misunderstanding the definition or wanting to gain access to a vegan audience without doing the groundwork. Prompted by this lack of clarity, in 1990, the Vegan Society’s Trademark was introduced to help consumers easily spot vegan products. This was the world’s first vegan product labelling scheme of its kind.
FOOD & DRINK
Every single product labelled with the Vegan Trademark has been checked by a team of experts to ensure that absolutely no animal ingredients have been used and that is has not been tested on animals either. The Vegan Trademark represents the international standard for authentic vegan products and is registered in many countries around the world, being used worldwide on over 44,000 products.
more people than ever are adopting the diet and lifestyle
THE VEGAN SOCIETY’S IMPACT TODAY… With thousands upon thousands of products globally carrying the Vegan Trademark, The Vegan Society have helped catapult veganism into the mainstream. Talk of vegan ethics and cultureshifting vegan products have been discussed openly in the media and by celebrities (does anyone remember Joaquin Phoenix’s Oscars speech!?), as well as online searches for vegan products rocketing year on year. The Vegan Society’s official partner, Veganuary, signed up a record 400,000 people this year, compared to 250,000 in 2019 – showing that more people than ever are adopting the diet and lifestyle, and require the products to suit their choices. traidcraftshop.co.uk 49

Our Coffee Consultant describes the pairing as follows: “Our Congolese newcomer is a kind of crazy coffee: sweet but acidic and with hints of dried mango, plum and notes of grapefruit. It has a very bright character with a buttery aftertaste. As with all coffee and dark chocolate combos, it’s THE perfect combination: the slight bitter notes of coffee ‘disguise’ the bitterness of the dark chocolate, making it even more sweet and pleasant.” traidcraftshop.co.uk 55

Zaitoun by Yasmin Khan Cookbook
As everyday activists and sustainable shoppers, we try to live the most eco-friendly lifestyles we can, which includes always recycling and reusing where possible. With so many different materials and components to be aware of, it can be a bit of a minefield deciphering what you can and can’t recycle. Here, we’ve highlighted a few everyday items to be careful when disposing of. Do any of these surprise you?
PLEASE Don' t RECYCLE ME GLASS
TRAIDCRAFT COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING
Whilst the likes of glass drinks bottles can be recycled into many new and interesting pieces (just look at our wonderful collection of recycled glassware on page 80!), some types of glass are not recyclable. Glass baking dishes, for example, are specially treated in the manufacturing process to withstand high temperatures – making them unfit for recycling purposes.
We work really hard to supply you with innovative, fair trade products in sustainable packaging – with the likes of our sweets' packaging and the inner wrap of our chocolate bars coming in compostable materials.
STICKY NOTES Despite being made of paper, the glue on the adhesive strip of many sticky notes can't always be removed during the recycling process, meaning that they are refused by lots of recycling centres.
If these materials are disposed of with regular recycling waste, they can contaminate the full load, so make sure to throw these onto your compost heap and create nutritious compost once you’re done!
CAN I HOME COMPOST IN THE WINTER MONTHS? Although the process of home composting will occur at a slower rate over the colder seasons, composting is an all year-round activity!

PLASTIC SLEEVES ON DRINKS BOTTLES
GIFTS
Whilst the plastic bottle itself may be recyclable, plastic sleeves on drinks bottles often cannot be recycled. This is because they are made from a different type of plastic to the bottle, which confuses computer scanners at recycling plants and therefore relies on manual separation.
RECEIPTS The vast majority of receipts are printed on thermal paper (containing harmful BPA and BPS), which is not recyclable. The problem is the coating of the receipt, which reacts to the heat from a printer to produce numbers and letters on the paper. A good test is to scratch the receipt – if it leaves a dark mark, it’s probably thermal paper. If you don’t need a receipt, why not ask the shop not to print one off for you?
Instead of writing items like this off as doomed for landfill, why not get creative with your rubbish? Innovative recycling at home with things like ecobricks can transform your waste into a masterpiece!
TAKE AWAY PIZZA BOXES They’re made of cardboard so they can be recycled, right? Hmm… not quite. Unfortunately, the corrugated card packaging is usually spoiled with a greasy oil residue left from your pizza, which causes chaos at recycling centres. Due to contamination, instead of being converted back into another useful resource, pizza box cardboard is usually dumped into landfill or incinerated.

CRISIL
Timeless
GLASSWARE
Crisil is a family-run social enterprise based in Cochabamba, Bolivia, who create timeless glassware made from 100% recycled glass, washed and processed in eco-friendly conditions. Their mission has always had the needs of people and planet at its core. Crisil utilises traditional methods of production; during the glass making process, previously used glass is broken into tiny pieces, washed in clean water and then melted in a natural gas furnace. In order to preserve natural resources and minimize waste, artisans use as little water as possible throughout the production. The glass becomes a stretchy, viscose mass, which is mouthblown (a skill which takes years to perfect) and shaped into all manner of innovative glass pieces. Crisil employs 90 artisan glassworkers in total, but support reaches much further, touching

the lives of over 500 families in the region. All glassworkers are given up to date training, accident insurance and ongoing learning opportunities to develop their craft skills. The workshops are places of collaboration, where glassworkers, regardless of class, place of origin or gender, can produce works of art together. This makes for a completely diverse workforce, with people from many different social groups and ethnic backgrounds coming together to share their skills.

GLASSWARE from Ngwenya
100% of the glass used to make Ngwenya’s beautiful pieces has been recycled – mainly from glass drinks bottles. Plus, each and every piece is totally handmade and mouth-blown – a skill which takes years to perfect. Ngwenya Glass is also concerned with conservation and organises environmental clean-up days along
the main roads in their area. They do this by encouraging the schools in their area to do these clean-ups in exchange for donations of things like building materials or football kits. They believe that by educating our children about environmental issues, we will have a chance of saving our planet – a sentiment we fully support here at Traidcraft.

Child Rescue Nepal works to free children from slavery, which is acutely in line with Namaste’s values and is why they have been supporting them for almost 20 years. There are over 22 million people trapped in slavery globally, and it is estimated that around a quarter of these are children. In Nepal alone, it is estimated that there are almost 100,000 vulnerable child slaves working in hazardous situations, where they are commonly exposed to physical, emotional and sexual abuse. They work with local police to raid factories, restaurants and hotels where children are being held captive, prosecute perpetrators of the abuse, raise awareness of trafficking in schools and work to provide counselling and medical care in their safe houses. Child Rescue Nepal have improved education for 40,000 children, raised £150,000 for earthquake relief, pursued the prosecution of 24 traffickers in Nepal and India and rescued and brought to safety nearly 700 children. They promise that they won’t stop until every child is free.

VENT for Change is a Bristol-based stationery brand that supports children’s education projects worldwide, as well as having sustainability at the heart of every product they produce. Proceeds from every single VENT product sold, go towards global education projects getting children back into school.
SUSTAINABLE STATIONERY WITH STYLE HOW IT ALL BEGAN… Back in 2014, environmental entrepreneur, Evan Lewis, purchased a run-down, ageing facility which made pencils from recycled CD cases. After a year and a half of making improvements to this facility, Evan and his team were producing an additional million pencils per year. At the same time, there was a string of devastating natural and man-made disasters effecting children worldwide, their educations in particular. “Pencils are the most iconic educational tool going back centuries and I wanted to do something with them, something inspirational.” Evan Lewis, Founder of VENT for Change.
104 traidcraftshop.co.uk
It was at this moment, Evan had his lightbulb moment – realising he had a potential one million spare pencils being produced each year. The sale of these pencils could go towards rebuilding schools, paying teachers and providing essential materials. Evan decided to sell his pencils and other stationery here in the UK, and from the proceeds, support existing education projects around the world, ensuring that children’s futures are brighter, and that they receive the education they deserve. Evan also launched Share a Pencil Day, a global education awareness day for UK school children. His Ambassador for Change programme provides free pencils to charities and volunteers working overseas, which means that pencils reach those who need them most, completely free of charge.

Thought’s exclusive prints have their own distinct narrative; their designers find inspiration in galleries, vintage archives and always in nature. To create this collection, Thought have delved into the hidden corners of women’s history for inspiration, looking to those who celebrated nature and created a legacy that can still be viewed and admired today.
THE WH I TE G A R DEN
The story behind the collection… Unconventional, eccentric and charismatic, Vita Sackville West was part of the 1920s’ Bloomsbury literary set. She spent much of her life at her country estate, named Sissinghurst, where she famously created a magical garden of ‘rooms’. Gardening was Vita’s passion and for The White Garden Collection, Thought borrow from her personal style and the famous White Garden ‘room’ she created.

Vita was known for her unconventional dress sense; pairing masculine, traditional country attire with feminine panache. Taking her lead, Thought reference 1920s’ fashion along with a sense of contemporary, androgynous dressing. Masculine jackets worn over delicate printed midi dresses define the look. A combination of textures and an eclectic print handwriting reflect the country house interiors that Vita would have known.

The first form of photography, named the cyanotype, was pioneered in the 1840s by Anna Atkins. She is known as the world’s first female photographer, as well as the first person to publish a book of photographic images. Anna had a lifelong interest in plants and botany. She used the cyanotype process to record numerous seaweeds, algae and woodland plants that she discovered around her Kent home.
Made from recycled plastic bottles
Vivid blue tones are created as a result of these images being exposed to sunlight – something that’s unique to this method of photography. For the Sun Gardens Collection, Thought reference these intense blues and the organic forms which Anna created through their prints, celebrating her contribution to art, science, and photography. The power of the sun is expressed through rich tones of mustard and gold, as Thought imagine Anna on her sunlit walks through gardens in search of specimens. traidcraftshop.co.uk 117

The story behind the collection… The Paper Gardens collection celebrates an extraordinary 18th Century English woman, Mary Delaney. She was born in 1700 and lived a full life in royal and aristocratic circles. At the age of 72, Mary began a remarkable artistic journey. She was inspired to create over 1,000 collages of plants in cut paper, all of which she painted and assembled with astonishing skill and botanical accuracy.
Mary was also a highly skilled embroiderer, which inspired this floral print.
These works can still be viewed at the British Museum, where they are kept and displayed. Only two are shown at any one time to preserve their freshness. The delicate charm of these images inspired Thought to create this collection, as a celebration of Mary’s achievement. Their choice of rich fabrications and colours echo the decadent royal courts that Mary would have known. Subtle styling details give a nod to the elaborate fashions of the time. To create balance and depth, Thought include more casual pieces in humble neutrals and fresh blues, perfect for cold winter days.

Where in the World?
Traidcraft has established meaningful relationships with producers and suppliers from all around the world, some of which we’ve been working with since the very beginning, over 40 years ago! We’ve also formed relationships with new suppliers and producers over the years, bringing an ever-increasing range of products to homes around the UK. This is a list of the fair trade suppliers we’ve collaborated with to curate our autumn/ winter 2020 range of handcrafted masterpieces, sustainable fashion and incredible, fair trade edibles. BOLIVIA ANAPQUI Established in 1983, Anapqui is dedicated to improving the living conditions of rural farmers in Bolivia and promoting organic agriculture. You can find their quinoa in our pasta. COINACAPA This cooperative collects the Brazil nuts that fall from Amazonian rainforest trees. More than 1000 families benefit from exporting Brazils nuts, resulting in improvements to healthcare in a region prone to malaria and dengue fever. CRISIL Crisil is a family-run social enterprise based in Cochabamba, Bolivia. It was set up in 1991 by two brothers, Carlos and Walter Bustos, who wanted to create beautiful glassware using eco-friendly methods. EL CEIBO One of the very first fair trade suppliers of cocoa used in Traidcraft’s first 164 traidcraftshop.co.uk
chocolate bars, El Ceibo represents almost 50 small cooperatives of cocoa producers. They have thrived through fair trade, managing to add value to their cocoa beans through processing themselves rather than selling to bigger traders.
MIFRUTA This small cooperative of around 25 members was formed in 2009, and supported into fair trade by Traidcraft. Through working together with Traidcraft, the cooperative has improved soil management and yields.
BURKINA FASO
CHINA
GEBANA Gebana D’Afrique works with 25 local cooperatives of mango growers, as well as providing employment for those involved in drying and processing the fruit. Drying mango is a great way to preserve and add value to this seasonal fruit. CHILE APICOOP A long-standing supplier of honey to Traidcraft, Apicoop supports over 300 producers in southern Chile with a mission to promote the social, cultural and economic development of small and medium beekeepers and to sell their honey at fair prices.
NANJING COUNTY YIFENG FRUITS AND VEGETABLES SPECIALIZED COOPERATIVE SOCIETY Comprises of 12 farmers, 20 hectares of land and can harvest 1800mt of fresh ginger. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC COOPROAGRO With more than 2,000 members, Cooproagro focuses on providing technical assistance to farmers and improving the quality of cocoa beans, such that their reputation is second to none in the world of Fairtrade certified cocoa, which you can find in all of the Traidcraft and Eat Your Hat chocolate bars.
NATURAL HABITATS Natural Habitats has been producing organic palm oil since 2009, with small farmers who believe in the benefits of organic agriculture - living proof that the controversial commodity palm oil can be produced without negative impact on biodiversity and positively benefit small farmers. Used in Traidcraft’s Clean & Fair brand as well as biscuits. ESWATINI (formally Swaziland) ESWATINI KITCHEN Eswatini Kitchen was set up in 1991 by Manzini Youth Care (MYC), a Salesian NGO supporting marginalised youth in Swaziland. The profits were then fed back into MYC’s social programmes. But Eswatini didn’t stop there. The project started with five women working in a one-room-kitchen, and now stands as a thriving business supplying sauces and spreads worldwide; offering a fair and sustainable income for over 300 people from underprivileged communities. NGWENYA Conservation is one of Ngwenya’s key pillars; they believe that educating our children about environmental issues is the best way to care for our planet and our future.
They produce all of their glassware using 100% recycled glass and all of their artisans utilise traditional, mouth-blowing techniques which take decades to perfect. ETHIOPIA OROMIA The Oromia Coffee Farmer Cooperative Union represents the interests of more than 350 cooperatives and over 300,000 small farmers across Ethiopia – the country where arabica coffees originated. Traidcraft uses organic and conventional coffees from a variety of the cooperatives. GHANA
SERENDIPALM Serendipalm produces certified fair trade and organic palm oil, without the large infrastructure and monoculture cropping used by most palm oil manufacturers. The proceeds of fair trade have helped transform the community with investments in essentials such as healthcare, infrastructure and provision of clean water. Used in Traidcraft’s Clean & Fair
