Fair Trade, and recycled clothing/accessories

I went online, to search for fair trade clothing companies and distributors, and found tons of links!!! A lot of people have the impression that Fair Trade items are more expensive, when in truth buying Fair Trade costs just about the same as a retail store! The retail store hikes up the prices, to benefit the big company. These places get their stuff directly from the craftspeople source, and pay them fair wages. I have also included links to individuals who are designers, making items from recycled materials. Enjoy!
