Ethical Wares - One of the world's most highly regarded online shops for cruelty-free footwear and clothing. When Denise & Mike took over the running of Ethical Wares back in 1993, there were just 2 styles of shoes on offer. One was imaginatively called the Green boot and one the Black boot! How times have changed, with EW now stocking well over 500 vegan and cruelty free products. They believe that the struggle for a better deal for animals cannot be separated from that same struggle for human rights, so many of their accessories are covered by Fair Trade criteria. The income from EW goes to fund the care of the 50 or so animals living with them. A motley crew if ever there were one; consisting of goats, sheep, pigs, 2 old horses, cats, dogs, rabbits and Aunt Dotty the cow. EW will have a stall at the festival, a great opportunity to try before you buy! See their website www.ethicalwares.com
