Guide of the pictograms on Ethicaltradeshop.com

You are very attentive to fair and ecological approaches in your purchases ? You can select collections and products of ethical designers from our 6 categories.

In order to make easier the acknowledgment of the ethical field of each one of the designers, we have created the following pictograms :

Organic Materials:

FASHION THAT RESPECTS THE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH STANDARDS FOR RAW MATERIALS.

TEXTILES AND FABRIC ARE CERTIFIED BY AN ORGANIZATION THAT GUARANTEES THAT THE UNWOVEN FIBERS CAME FROM A PRODUCT GROWN ACCORDING TO ORGANIC AGRICULTURE STANDARDS.

ORGANIC AGRICULTURE IS A SPECIFIC AGRICULTURAL SYSTEM WHICH EXCLUDES GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS, AS WELL AS SYNTHETIC PESTICIDES AND FERTILIZERS. IT PLAYS AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN COTTON PRODUCTION WHICH USES ENORMOUS QUANTITIES OF PESTICIDES.

COTTON REPRESENTS 70% OF THE WORLD'S TEXTILES PRODUCTION, ACCOUNTING FOR ONLY 4% OF THE WORLD'S CULTIVATED LAND, BUT 25% OF THE PESTICIDES USED. THIS REPRESENTS FINANCIAL DEBT FOR FARMERS, IN ADDITION TO HEALTH RISKS (CANCER, POISONING, HORMONAL IMBALANCE).

Natural Materials:

ALL TEXTILE RAW MATERIALS THAT HAVE MINIMAL IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT, I.E. THEIR CULTIVATION DOES NOT REQUIRE LARGE QUANTITIES OF FERTILIZERS, PESTICIDES OR WATER. THIS DIFFERS FROM THE ORGANIC EPITHET WHICH IS A CERTIFICATION CORRESPONDIND TO LEGALLY DEFINED STANDARDS. EXEMPLES : WOOL, LINEN, HEMP, SILK...

Recycling:

RECYCLING AS A SOURCE OF RAW MATERIALS GIVES A SECOND LIFE TO CLOTHES AND OTHER OBJECTS BY REUSING AND RECONSTRUCTING THEM. TODAY, IN FRANCE, 700,000 TONS OF USABLE TEXTILES ARE THROWN AWAY. RECYCLING IS THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY OF PRESERVING THE ENVIRONMENT.

Fair Fashion:

FAIR FASHION PRESUPPOSES THAT THE ENTIRE SECTOR RESPECTS THE RULES (STANDARDS) OF FAIR TRADE ; IN OTHER WORDS, A NORTH- SOUTH TRADE PARTNERSHIP BASED ON DIALOGUE, TRANSPARENCY AND RESPECT, AND MEANT TO INCREASE EQUITY. THE GOAL IS TO ASSURE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT BASED ON DECENT PAY TO PRODUCERS.

Social Projects:

FASHION THAT INVESTS IN SOCIAL PROJECTS.

ETHICAL FASHION IS COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH MINORITIES AND UNDERPRIVILEGED COMMUNITIES (EX: DISADVANTAGED ETHNIC MINORITIES, WOMEN IN AFGAHANISTAN, BRAZILIAN FAVELAS, DISABLED PERSONS, PEOPLE IN SOCIAL REINTEGRATION...). MAKING CLOTHES GIVES THEM INDEPENDENCE AND ALLOWS THEM TO TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR FUTURES.

SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT IN TRAINING CENTERS, HOUSING, MEDICAL FACILITIES CONTRIBUTES TO LOCAL DEVELOPMENT.

Know-How:

ETHICAL FASHION PRESERVES LOCAL KNOW-HOW.

WORKING WITH LOCAL ARTISANS GIVES VISIBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY TO TRADITIONAL TEXTILE TECHNIQUES AND KNOW-HOW, ENABLING THEM TO SURVIVE DESPITE INDUSTRIALIZATION. TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES CAN BE TRANSMITTED TO FUTURE GENERATIONS AND ADAPTED AS THEY SHOULD BE. SUCH KNOW-HOW IS A VEHICLE OF CULTURAL, RICHNESS AND DIVERSITY IN TEXTILES.

PROMOTING TRADITIONAL TEXTILE SKILLS CAN HELP IN DEALING WITH RURAL EXODUS AND URBAN POPULATION GROWTH.
