Shopping may not always be a guilt-free experience, but filling up the cart at local online store Perch & Pantry doesn’t just benefit your home and happiness, but also vulnerable artisans living in difficult conditions in all parts of the globe. Founder Alice Duffield launched the company with the goal to support local and international makers who uphold an ethical and sustainable standard when creating their wares. The health science student has gathered a gorgeous range of products, from manchester and kitchen goods to gifts, accessories and children’s toys.

Pick up an earth-friendly jute tote, which has been handwoven by women working in a fairtrade program in Bangladesh, or an eco book bag hand-printed with azo-free dyes. Amongst the stable of Perch & Pantry designers is Raven + Lily, which sources handmade, fairtrade and eco-friendly jewellery and homewares from countries like Ethiopia, India and Cambodia.

Perch & Pantry donates a percentage of its profits to health-related causes and non-profit organisation, Kiva. Browse the collection online and keep an eye on new additions on the Perch & Pantry Facebook page.
