A Fair Trade Fashion Show takes place on Saturday February 23 at Bitterne United Reformed Church, above Iceland, in Bitterne Precinct. Doors open at 7pm.
Organisers say the show will feature fun and affordable fashion for all ages, and will tell the stories behind the clothes. Clothing from Sainsburys, Marks & Spencers & the Fair Trade Shop, and local fair traders Lokamela & Sombrerolatin, & bags from Hatti Trading (Nepal) & Vandanamu (India), will be modelled by church members, and Girls & Boys Brigades.
There will also be a selection of trade stands selling fair trade clothing, bags, jewellery, food, toys and wooden carved items (Siwok Crafts).
Entrance is Ł3 to include refreshments & children free.
