Fair Trade Ethical Gloves

Fair Trade Ethical Fingerless Gloves. Beautifully hand knitted with pure, natural, Eco-friendly wool. Wear these gloves with your fingers free or cover them with the buttoned cap for extra warmth.  You can use these Gloves for most activities while keeping your hands toasty warm all winter.  They are so practical and comfortable that you will never look back. These Fair Trade Winter Gloves are a great ethical gift idea for men and women!

These Gloves are lovingly made by Artisans in Nepal who spin and dye raw wool from New Zealand using azo-free dyes. They hand-knit the Glove using bright and varied colours, making each pair of gloves totally unique. The whole process is sustainable and eco-friendly as Uplift Fair Trade have chosen to source this product that uses the leftover pieces of wool that would otherwise be thrown out.
