Ethical Junction – Looking after ethical companies

Posted on | August 4, 2010 | No Comments

The last couple of days I’ve been in touch with Ethical Junction.  ”Who are they?” I hear you ask.  Well, it’s part community / part directory, with a bunch of other things thrown for customers and companies alike.  ”So they’re paying Plum Ethical to write this post then?”  NO!!! Let me explain why I’m blogging. [...]

So, What Do You Think?

New, Old Blog

Posted on | July 30, 2010 | 1 Comment

We’ve moved our blog. And then we moved it again. All the posts, old and new, are here  now.  We’ve just completely re-done our site (even thought it looks quite similar) so we’d moved the blog too. Then we moved it back here because a blog should be a blog, not part of a website, [...]

Po-Zu Footwear

Posted on | July 12, 2010 | 1 Comment

Have you seen Po-Zu footwear?  They look really exciting.  They offer vegan and vegitarian shoes and sandles and boots, and they look good.  Really attractive and stylish.  This is exactly the sort of thing we want to do for bags! We’d love to stock their stuff but: (a) they are doing a good enough job without [...]

Finding Ethical Fashion Handbags

Posted on | July 10, 2010 | No Comments

As you might have seen with our previous blog articles, we don’t hide away when we’re having a tough time.  This problem of finding a really ethical fashion handbag is not easy to solve.  I think the best we’ve done is the dA-LaTA bags, which are perfect in almost all ways: they’re “upcycled” from carefully washed and coloured [...]
