Fed up of putting your money into the hands of grabby multi-nationals? Then get off the High Street and check out your independent alternatives. That way more of your money will stay in Cardiff to support other independents and so it goes on. Recycling see? How very green!
Here are a few of our favourites:
We don't have baby stuff but the ranges out there are awesome! Visit Butterfly Babies in Wellfield Road who do for little 'uns what we do for you.
The new kid on the block. A one stop shop in Splott selling everything you need to renovate your house in sustainable fashion.

OK - so you know where to go for your cool ethical clothing and accessories, but what about your other Fairtrade items (yes we know you can get them in Tescos..) For great products and friendly people, go to Fair Do's/Siopa Teg in Canton. Just a personal plug - when you're there remember to buy some Zaytoun olive oil made on the West Bank and support Palestine.
Where do you go for good coffee in the city centre? Once you avoid the chains, there remains the Brazil Coffee Co. in Church Street
Love Oyster clothes but need something wild, unique and locally designed? Try BowHo
On a national level these websites are working hard on behalf of ethical clothing:
