There is a rather archaic perception about fair trade clothes that is lasting in the clothing industry. The idea that clothes produced using fair trade law are daggy, hippie-like bohemian sacks that only a certain, disenfranchised ration of the citizen wear, is outdated.
I'm not entirely sure how this perception came about, possibly it was true at least in some part of the western world for a short duration of time but it is positively not true in the contemporary clothing world and has very little to do with the time to come of fair trade.

Fairtrade is a business plan that supports all those involved in the yield process rather than allowing an unfair distribution of wealth and benefits to a agree few. In most international trade, items are produced overseas because it is cheap to do so. Generally it is cheap to yield things overseas because some countries do not have the same human rights guidelines as the west goods can be made more cheaply.
The costs of course, run deeper than money and it is here that fairtrade organisations step in to regulate the yield process to ensure that workers are not exploited and their families are supported. Regulation takes into list aspects of enough financial remuneration but also standards of living, workplace condition and safety, environmental health, non-discrimination, transparency and more.
