The club has expanded its range with a new, stylish fabric bag designed by designer Bettina Cerny.

The bag is ideal as a guest gift or for your own use during the summer holidays.

Fair trade and local production

The workshop in Bhaktapur employs eight talented people and is supported by Ganesh Nepalhandel, a company that guarantees fair working conditions. Dori Rindle from Ganesh Nepalhandel describes the challenges of mixing the right color for printing. Such projects are essential to improve the living conditions of people in the producing countries.

But what does it mean to buy fair trade products? In Germany, many items of clothing, including T-shirts and pants, are produced in Asia, often under poor conditions. The well-known Rana Plaza textile factory in Bangladesh, which collapsed in 2013, exposed questionable working conditions in the industry and led to a rethink. More and more consumers are therefore interested in the origin of their clothing and the associated working conditions, which gives fair trade an additional boost. The production processes can include up to 100 work steps that are distributed worldwide. The Textile seal Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) For example, guarantees ecological and social standards in textile production, while the “Fairtrade cotton” seal ensures fair conditions in cotton production.

Diverse events and offers

But Weltladen Alsfeld wants to offer even more! Events and team meetings take place regularly. The annual program includes the popular world shop cinema, lectures and exhibitions on fair trade and related topics. A highlight will be the upcoming World Shop Day on May 10, 2025, which will attract many visitors and offer the opportunity to try fair trade chocolate.

Thanks to such options, interest in fair trade products remains alive. Tips for presenting jewelry in the store round off the offer. The Weltladen's commitment shows that fair trade is not just a trend, but an important cornerstone for a more sustainable future.
