To celebrate all thing fair trade, come into Starfish anytime during the fortnight and get a 10% DISCOUNT on all KOWTOW and DESCENDANT garments. They’re both certified fair trade, organic and awesome.

Also, keeping our feet warm and snug are our fair trade friends VEJA. our favourite sneakers will be well stocked for Fair Trade Fortnight in new colours, sizes and styles.

Then, on the 15th of May come and join us for a coffee when we host an OXFAM COFFEE BREAK. We’ll have Celsius Coffee in store churning out all the lattes you can handle. All donations go towards raising awareness and money to help struggling growers to work their way out of poverty. Thanks Oxfam, we love your work.

“Being eco-chic is not a throw away trend, but some of the clothes can be. This tencel blouse is biodegradable, thanks to the wood-pulp fibres from trees grown on sustainably run farms. And the print is water based ink that wont harm the earth if it ever ends up in landfill. If that’s not enough to blow you away, Local label Starfish, which also made the organic cotton denim skirt, is a sustainable business (with awards to prove it) that uses vegetable dyed paper bags, recycled buttons and buckles, and organic and natural fabrics where possible.”

NZ Women’s Health, April 2009.

“Fashion designers everywhere are making conscious choices to bring sustainable practices into their everyday working and creative environments. From the fabrics used in garments, to the packaging used to distribute collections – designers are realising that green suits everyone.

Where possible, Starfish sources New Zealand made fabrics with sustainable qualities such as organic denims, cottons and hemp. They also use recycled buttons and buckles, paper bags with a vegetable based dye and chlorine free tissues.”
