Shared Earth was founded in the 1980’s and has vast experience in crafting products that sell.

The products begin their creation with customer research that Shared Earth’s dedicated design team of three full time people undertake. This shows Shared Earth’s commitment to design and new product development. This knowledge is later transferred into designs for the artisans in developing countries so that they can work with Shared Earth to hand make products that UK consumers really want to buy.

This process ensures that sales are kept high and Shared Earth can provide year round orders to suppliers, which in turn support whole families and communities. The product ranges include; unique jewellery, a whole host of fashion accessories, wood, ceramics, paper, soapstone and products for children.

The newest Shared Earth offering comes in the form of the first Fair Trade franchise package to be launched in the UK!  To find out more visit www.sharedearth.co.uk/franchise.asp
