From the feedback we get, we know that people love the Freeset concept. Not only do you get a great product but you can also be part of a powerful story where the business' success means womens' lives are changed rather that the business owners profits are swollen. All our products are made by women existing prostitution and escaping human trafficking.
Following on from the success of our custom printed jute and organic cotton bags, a new unit was set up for t-shirts. Using only the highest quality organic and fairtrade cotton we believe we have closed the circle and the actual manufacture of the shirts makes a significant difference. Right from the farmer to the seamstress fair wages are paid and balance is placed in the supply chain.
The importance of organic and fairtrade cotton is explained well in a recent video by Lily Cole for Climate Week. As people grow in awareness of the impact of our consumer choices, we hope that more benefits will flow back to those that create the products we enjoy.
If yo are looking for custom printed tees or t-shirts, do consider the ethical, employment and environmental implications. Do give us a call and see how we can help you with shirts that really make a difference to the farmers and vulnerable women that helped make them. We believe that social enterprise is the future of business.
