For those of you not familiar with the term "fair trade" here is what it means- "Fair Trade is an organized social movement and market based approach that aims to help producers in developing countries obtain better trading conditions and promote sustainability." (Thank you for that explanation Wikipedia) And I'm pretty sure most of us out there know what eco-friendly means so I will just get on with showing the pillows! Enjoy! : )
These first 2 pillows are by Modernality via Etsy. The pillows are made of felt that is made from recycled plastic bottles!
These next pillows come from a company called Gianna. Gianna offers lots of eco-friendly AND fair trade items but since we are talking pillows; here are some options from Gianna.
Organic Cotton Bubbles Pillow
Organic Cotton Snowflake Neckroll Pillow
The next few pillows come from Humble Creations. They use organic cotton and non-toxic water based inks on their items.
