    Our creative partners hail from across the fashion landscape and around the world.

We are proud to acknowledge our pioneer partners, Max&Co and the Italian distributor, Coop Italia, for belief and early orders.

     
     

    We understand fashion media. We support our designer partners with photography and moving image. In keeping with our agenda to nurture local talent, we work with up-and-coming image-makers in Kenya, Ghana and Haiti. We offer support in terms of press materials to ensure that the consumer searching for stylish ethical product knows where to find it. We have deep connections with international fashion media. We know that product that attracts attention sells, orders increase and all those involved thrive.

    The craftswomen in Africa are amongst the most talented artisans in the world - there is a real truth about their work. The standard comes from tradition and attention to detail that is unparalleled. We couldn't be happier with the final product.

    We seek orders for finished goods, not component parts. Ethical Fashion Initiative is the source of high-quality fashion and homeware product.
