Coral Seed is a small fair-trade partnership, importing fashion and home accessories from Bangladesh, India and Mongolia. Our designer works with Coral Seed producers - mainly women from rural areas - to help them apply their traditional skills to contemporary hand-made pieces. These include hand-embroidered silk scarves, silk and cotton cushions and bedcovers from tropical Bangladesh, bags from India and felt bags and fine knitted wraps and scarves in camel wool, yak wool and cashmere, from the sub-Arctic steppes of Mongolia.

Coral Seed’s aim is to help our producers develop saleable products for the global market; to build sustainable markets at fair prices for those products and through continuous product development and effective marketing provide increased incomes and long term improvements in the standard of living, health and education.

Our products are available in fair trade shops across the British Isles, and other outlets supporting the fair trade ethos, or directly from us by mail order.
