In answer to your question, the Fairtrade mark is a credible mark awarded by the Fairtrade Foundation generally to food products & cotton production. They are of course many organisations working under the umbrella term of Fair Trade. IFAT are currently looking at ways of extending the mark to other products. EcoChic brings together a community of ethical producers that either hold the SA8000 certification, are BAFTs or IFAT members or who we assess to follow our ethical criteria. Hope this helps. Best Wishes, Deborah. Hayley,

Is sickening the way producers in developing countries are forced deeper into poverty so that the developed world can better themselves. Further dividing the gap instead of helping to bridge it. Do all Fair Trade products carry the logo or are there others out there? I’m always going to look for Fair Trade products from now on!!
