Spot clean only.
Designed in the UK and hand made by skilled artisans through a women's fair trade project in Vietnam. The regular work provided enables women from disadvantaged backgrounds to improve their families’ living conditions and send their children to higher education. The work is also flexible, enabling them to learn new tailoring skills whilst continuing with their education if required.
The women who make the bags and purses work in small villages either in small, clean, safe workshops or at home so that they can work according to their own and their families’ needs.
Many workers come from rural rice farming communities where poverty is widespread. Working with Lua enables them to combine their farming obligations with a valuable additional source of income. The work is flexible and they are also able to have time off for family commitments. Training is provided on the job in the workshop for the first two years to develop skills and experience. Higher rates are paid to the women who progress to more skilled work such as pattern cutting and embroidery. The workers are paid sick leave and health insurance is provided for older workers. Bonuses are paid after each season and, in summer, a holiday to the beach is organised for all the workers and their families.
Materials: Outer - 54% polyester, 42% wool, 2% nylon, 2% cotton. Lining - 100% cotton.

I purchased these laundry sheets as I do not now use washing powder. I also have a septic tank, which I am very conscientious about. I have looked at other sheets which require transport, but as these claim to be made in the UK I am all for cutting down the carbon footprint.
Good range of handmade soaps available at good prices, order +ame quickly and well packaged. Thank you
I found Greentulip whilst searching online. I ordered a beautiful baby grow, some wooden Teethers & a little comfort bunny. They all arrived beautifully wrapped in tissue paper& they arrived quickly too! I would definitely recommend them for extra special baby gifts.
I like these pads because they have survived the washing machine and they are soft but with just enough “grip” to clean well.
