page summary: Sole Rebels vegan sandals and shoes working towards fairtrade accreditation

size 39 40 41 42 43 44 45   KeepOn unisex hemp fairtrade shoe in stock. £38.50 posted to the UK € Sole Rebels shoes & sandals are made by International Fair Trade Organisation members Bostex (or "By Ourselves Textiles") who are based in an area of high unemployment in Ethiopia. Their speciality is to use existing skills - such as using the local type of cotton which grows without pesticides, the local skill of making looms to weave it, or the skills of using second-hand army uniforms & moped tyres for parts. The firm is not yet labelled as fair trade or organic, but they have joined the International Fair Trade labelling scheme and have a chance of being accredited after two years. In any case they have their own fair trade criterea already, listed below.   size 39 40 41 42 43 44 45   CamoSole II unisex fairtrade sandal with vintage camouflage material £25.50 posted to the UK € Sole Rebels use local cotton which has been grown without pesticides in Ethiopia for years or centuries. Bullet points below loosely quoted from the company and their importer. A magazine interview gives some background.     . A sustainable working community; cultural preservation Everything we do is aimed at applying the unique cultural arts practiced in Ethiopia for millennia in fresh dynamic new fashions. This preserves important cultural assets whilst creating wonderful new products for customers, marrying traditional arts with modern design sensibilities. Workers Fair and Sustainable Wages We believe in workers first and in proud wages. These are on average 4 times the legal minimum wage and 3 times the industry average wage for similar work. We believe in creating local jobs that provide a sustainable living for workers and their families. Workers Rights Proudly our constitution here in Ethiopia protects the right of collective bargaining for most workers, and all our workers exercise this right freely. 100% Medical Coverage Sadly Ethiopia is also a country with one of the lowest doctor/patient ratios on earth! Just getting to a doctor can be tough. All doctors conducting our site checks are board certified practitioners. We have a no hassle 100% medial coverage program, covering workers and their families.Transportation provision for workers with disabilities. People with disabilities have historically experienced systemic discrimination and difficulties just getting to work. Even though our site is within walking distance of workers homes, we provide transportation to and from the site. Straight wage - no quotas. We deplore this demeaning practice endemic in the fashion industry. Our workers have different, sustainable incentives. Community dedication -giving back to the community Creating a myriad of education and employment opportunities for the community. This is part of the deal of becoming a fair trade supplier. Environmental respect Recycling and reusing. Where possible using locally sourced organic materials and recruiting locally. This makes the community proud. And is achieved with minimal waste resulting in a very low carbon footprint. Transparency in our activities Auditing completed from the Ethiopian economic renewal fund (leading NGO dedicated to poverty alleviation). Currently SoleRebels have also embarked on accreditation from IFAT (The International Fiar Trade Organisation) with the commitment and transparency required.
