PEBBLE
Pebble products are made by Hathay Bunano, a company started back in 2004 by Samantha Morshead MBE. On moving to Bangladesh, Samantha saw the incredible poverty so started teaching the women knitting and crocheting skills. Soon her vision of bringing sustainable and flexible employment to rural and disadvantaged women became real.
Following WFTO accrediation, Pebble is currently the only guaranteed fair trade crochet toys in the world. It now employs over 5,000 women in 52 different regions of Bangladesh, and handmade products are still at the core of the business.
The employment is very much community based - the women are paid fairly and the work is flexible - they enjoy getting together to work, chat and share.
It's lovely to see these women with incredibly skilled hands able to work close to their homes, keeping families together and preventing the need for economic relocation to the cities.
And when every piece is made by hand they are all unique, meaning no two pieces will be exactly the same - you could say each one is a work of art!
A lot of brands have imitated Pebble over the years, but we're proud to stock the brand that first made crocheted fruit rattles popular! Still one of our bestselling ranges for babies, they keep coming up with new ideas to keep their artisans in Bangladesh busy, and babies entertained!

I absolutely love this cauliflower rattle - so sweet. I'm sure the recipient, now three weeks' old, will love it just as much as me. Great to know that I am purchasing from a company with a conscience, Ethical, fair trade and organic. What could be better.
A beautiful bright and colourful rattle, ideal for a new baby. Fabulous to know that it is made of organic cotton and is a fair trade product. Great quality and my order was well packaged and arrived promptly.
I liked the idea of the Egg but truly didn't think it would work that well. I was wrong. I am delighted with it . Great value for money, takes up very little shelf space and best of all saves on all these bottles and packets. Would recommend.
Very very strong fragrance - did not seem a 'natural' fragrance
Sorry to hear that you found the fragrance very strong. As we chatted about on email I'm in touch with the supplier and will get back to you with more details on the fragrance.
Very good product and long lasting
