Ethletic

As if my lovely new Veja trainers weren’t enough, I’ve also this week indulged in this lovely pair of Ethletic ‘converses’ made by Fair Deal Trading.

Fair Deal are stalwarts of the fair trade movement and, as you’d expect, they know their stuff. As well as trading fairly there’s also a fair trade premium paid for both materials and production and the latex is FSC certified.

As importantly they’re also very cool. I’ve never owned a pair of converse so I do rather feel as if I’m reliving some teenage years I never had. (I now own a denim jacket for the first time as well – acquired in a clothes swap last year.)

I bought these from the lovely Penny at Equa in London (Camden Passage) but they’ll also be coming soon to Adili
