Two of the leading companies in the ethical clothing and eco-friendly products sector have merged to form a business with a sales target of £8m for 2009-2010.

Internet retailers Natural Collection established in 1999 and Ethical Superstore who were formed in 2004 believe the move will put them in a stronger position to capture a much larger share of the United Kingdoms market for ethical and fair trade products and services which is currently around the £32bn mark.

The new company will continue to trade under both names and despite the recession expect continued growth as more and more people embrace ‘green’ ethics.

Ethical Superstore, the United Kingdom’s premier online Eco-friendly retail merchant has teamed up with the groundbreaking fashion brand Worn Again. With ‘reuse and recycle’ as their slogan, Worn Again has created a complete collection of hard-wearing fashion items which merge exclusive style with ethical and green living.

Are you aware that approximately one million tonnes of textiles are disposed of in the United Kingdom annually?

Worn Again is of the strong opinion that many items are far too good to discard and they are busily engaged transforming Virgin Atlantic aeroplane seat covers into stylish shopping bags, and redundant Glastonbury tents into wash bags to stash away your toiletries.

Knitwear designer, Karen Cole creates beautiful classic cuts, while maintaining ethical sourcing for all her materials. The Merino wool and organic cotton used in her designs epitomise the slow fashion revolution.

The renewable, 100% biodegradable and sustainable Merino wool is all that is used. Certified by Zque, which means that the sheep are free to roam in the sub-alpine grasses of Cole’s homeland, New Zealand.

It also means that the sheep are not subjected to the cruel process of ‘mulesing’ which involves the skin of the sheep’s behind being cut.
