All of the styles are produced according to fair trade principles and are made from organic/eco-certified textiles such as bamboo, organic cotton/hemp jersey, wovens from linen, wool, hemp/silk and hemp/PET. +
Making their European debut in TraidFare, Rise Up is a cooperative of artists, idealists and social entrepreneurs, who utilize art, humanitarian projects, and grass roots organizing to create positive social changes in the world.

UK-based eco-aware label Komodo was established in 1988, long before words like ethical, organic and sustainable were applied to clothing.
Komodo is celebrating 20 years as an ethical business, still independent and still working with many of the same family-run factories in Bali and Kathmandu that they started out with at the end of the 80’s. It is the style of these long term partnerships and joint commitments to find better ways to make more eco-friendly products that defines ’sustainability’ and ‘fair business’. Mens and Womenswear are designed with style first and foremost, backed up with organic textiles and ethical manufacturing. + info@komodo.co.uk
