CLB ♥ toddler wear at Jam Shop

Fairtrade clothes with serious fashion credentials? Check out Sahel Design, a label recently launched by Charlie Davies, a fashion editor-turned-missionary who is helping revive traditional craft techniques in Burkina Faso. As a resident of the small West African country, Charlie combines her love of fashion with her passion for humanity; every penny of profits of Sahel designs goes back to the women who make them. CLB is smitten with its exquisite accessories for women - think pretty tassel bags and chunky ebony necklaces (show your husbands and partners pronto). Now, as a fun side project Charlie has just launched a range of toddler wear made by local tailors for her online shop Jam Shop. The vibrant yet subtle Africa prints in mini designs - from just £10 for a jumpsuit - make us melt. Ethical fashion at its very best. Available from Jam Shop

Now, with the help of e E-side.co.uk, a brand new website with impeccable green credentials and tons of beautiful objects for your home and child, it is entirely possible. This is just the kind of innovative, forward-thinking idea that CLB admires; the founders have done all the hard work sourcing sound ethical, fairtrade and eco-friendly products so you don't have to.
