Welcome to the booksellers page

We are a small, family-run business like many of our suppliers, most of whom are based in India. Through fair trade we aim to help keep important craft skills alive.

We encourage the production and development of cultural products based on the traditions of local craftsmen and artisans, adapted for Western markets. In this way we hope to promote artistic talents in ways that preserve cultural identity.

By paying a fair trade market price we encourage high quality workmanship and enable producers to invest in good quality tools and materials, and by buying direct from the producers of the goods, we cut out the middlemen, enabling a greater percentage of the retail price to go to the craftsmen and women. A fair and ethical market price for goods benefits everyone, it does not mean that products necessarily cost the consumer more.
