Their slogan, 'made by the people for the people' sums them up; they train local artisans in Africa to create stunning, contemporary yet artistic pieces of jewellery for fashion-fans.
This conscienscious fashion brand thus builds bridges between sustainability and fashion, a gap which is starting to close thanks to this amazing brand, and others such as People Tree, Howies etc.
But made is more than just your ordinary fair trade brand; they also have designer and celebrity collections from the likes of Alexa Chung and Pixie Geldof. And with materials including recycled brass, aluminium, glass beads, bottle tops and even rubber, they definitely rival the high street when it comes to originality.
There are so many amazing fair trade jewellery pieces to choose from that you really have to check them out to really know what they're all about, but here is a small selection of my top made pieces:
Necklace Vicki Sarge £70
Peaches Daisy Bangle £18
Skull Earrings £12
Paper Chain Choker £40
Alexa Chung Necklace £35
As you can see, their prices as well as designs are also pretty dam reasonable, definitely rivalling the likes of TOPSHOP and French Connection. You'd be a fool not to check made out!
