Overseas Traders is the wholesale division of The India Shop. We are a family
firm importing from India and have been trading for eighteen years. The
India Shop is a member of BAFTS the British Association of Fair Trade Shops and
is a recognized BAFTS supplier. Our goods are handmade
and we aim through fair trade to provide much needed employment particularly in
rural areas and also to keep alive traditional craft skills. We
trade with family firms and co-operatives and by working together to introduce
new products hope for long term working relationships and continuous employment
for the craftsmen. |
All workers involved in making and packing
our products are treated with respect in reasonable working conditions and are
paid fair wages. No child is exploited. Our
goods and production techniques are environmentally friendly. We reuse packaging
and promote the use of newspaper. We use green electricity. We
support ideas for improving social medical and education conditions for worker
families involved in the production of our goods. Ann
