I suddenly realised yesterday I'd better find something appropriate to wear for the photoshoot tomorrow - so did a quick scout around my favourite websites at lunchtime, and came across a really nice range by Caro.
Described as dressing up for winding down, the edited range has some nicely cut pieces, with simple wood block prints. The ethics behind the company aren't bad either.
Working with a small factory in India, Caro has been able to build a good relationship with her team of tailors and has been keen to make sure that good working conditions are maintained. On the ground floor, a breakfast and after school club exists for local children and is funded through charitable donations. The workforce in this unit has grown as Caro has become more established and the small business has provided more employment opportunities in the area.
It is small businesses like this, that have more chance of changing peoples lives, than larger firms, who work with the bigger factories.
Anyway don't just take my word for it, check out their website, www.carolondon.co.uk
