Company details

  1. Gift Shop
  2. Fair Trade Organization

Written by the company

Shared Earth sells Fair Trade, recycled, eco-friendly and ethical products. Our mission is to tackle the climate crisis and create a fairer, more sustainable world. We are a WFTO (World Fair Trade Organisation) member, and our performance is monitored regularly against the Ten Principles set by WFTO for Fair Trade organisations. Shared Earth began as a small shop in York in 1986. Jeremy Piercy, founder and Managing Director, travelled to India after leaving school and wanted to do something to help redress the imbalance of wealth in the world, work together with people from different cultures, and at the same time earn a living. Fair Trade was the obvious answer and the original shop contained a wide mix of products from Asia, Africa and South America. Shared Earth now imports its own unique home and giftware, jewellery, fashion accessories, wood, ceramics, paper, soapstone and kids ranges making us the largest retailer and wholesaler of Fair Trade products in the UK. Our policy is to provide quality, design-led products, not just to those who are already aware of Fair Trade principles. With Fair Trade sales showing no sign of slowing, more and more employment is being provided for artisans in developing countries, many of who would otherwise be out of work. At a time when global conflict seems also on the increase, Shared Earth's partnerships with producers are an invaluable way of building bridges, showing that people can work together for mutual benefit, no matter what their race, religion or culture.

Brilliant ethical company

Have recently made two orders with this company and the goods I bought were first class quality, they arrived very well packaged indeed (a few items of crockery so wrapping well essential) I was kept informed of delivery schedule and dispatch was very quick. Also free postage for over £30 which was great. Highly recommend and definitely give them 5*

I ordered some lovely dessert plates on their website. I was happily surprised to see that not only they were fairtrade but that they were at a discounted price as well.
The plates arrived all safely as they were individually very well wrapped and they arrived promptly too!
I am a very satisfied customer. Thank you!

Wonderful Website

Shared Earth have a wonderful website that is very easy to use and user friendly, it makes finding what you are looking for very easy. The overall look and feel of the website is everything you could hope for. The process from 1st click to last couldn't be any better, making it very easy to spend money but you do get some excellent products in return. I was kept well informed without email bombardment. My products arrived well within the timeframe outlined and I couldn't be happier with my purchases or my experience.

Glass mobiles

I ordered two glass mobiles, which arrived in good time and were each well packed in a protective box with shredded paper padding inside..
They are good quality and have made excellent presents.
I will be ordering again from you.

Great communication by email on delivery times, lovely friendly staff. Delighted with the rainbow pottery I ordered. Only had 1 cereal bowl for years & finally got round to ordering side plates, more bowls & mugs with the spoons (sell without spoons as well). Very strong pottery & beautifully painted in bright rainbow colours. The teapot is next on my list! Even the lovely driver offered to carry the box into my house if I thought I'd struggle with it. 5* from me
