Welcome to Bishopston Trading Company's website. February 2009.
We are a Pioneer Fair Trade company.
WINTER COLLECTION 2009
The Autumn 2009 colours were inspired by a recent visit to South India. The campus where our producer partners work was a riot of glorious flowers in pinks, purples and deep yellow ochre. The weekly market was a dazzling array of blues from ice to ultramarine.
We obtain our organic cotton from Gujarat in North India where it is grown from non GM seed and is independently certified as Fairtrade by the Fairtrade Foundation. Our main fabric is handwoven in KV Kuppam, helping to support this traditional industry. We also use denim and calico produced by powerlooms in KV Kuppam from Fairtrade certified yarn.
Our corduroy, velvet and crochet are also all Fairtrade organic cotton.
**Our End Of Season Sale is now on and stock is selling very quickly. Many items have now been further reduced in price. We will try and keep the website updated as items sell out, but it is always worth giving us an alternative colour choice.**
Orders placed online or by telephone will be normally be dispatched within 2-3 days except during our busy sale when you should allow a few more days.
Please return any unwanted garments within a week if possible, as they may be exactly what someone else is waiting for.

We know from experience that our orders make a real difference to many families, allowing women to contribute to the family income and children to remain in education for longer.
