Blue Caravan - Contemporary handmade, fair trade & ethical products, warmed by independent designers, artists and artisans.

A while ago i was contacted by Blue Caravan to see wether i was interested in selling on their website. I took a peek at the site and loved it's design and it's purpose. To use their own words (since it tells the story very well) 'Bluecaravan supports and promotes direct trade. We support ethical production both locally and overseas. We love fairtrade and sweat-free certification. We believe that objects ‘warmed’ by designers, artists and artisans have a quality like no other… and that ‘ethical’ is no longer a choice separated from style and design. Bluecaravan is a venue for buyers and sellers of all things independently designed and ethically made. It’s about lovely, interesting and edgy products - beautifully finished, made with heart, and bought directly from the designer/maker.

And since they are Australian-based and i have a lot of Australian customers, i opened up shop a couple of weeks ago. And this week my necklace was featured in their newsletter: You can find my shop on Blue Caravan here.


And closer to home, i've been experimenting with a new ringdesign with a base in wood. I'm wearing it right now, to see how it holds up and than they might find their way into the shops (in different colours).
