Nkuku Fairtrade gifts from Boudoir Babe Fair Trade Gift Range

Boudoir Babe is exited (yup really exited) and we just had to let you know that we now stock a range of fantastic fairtrade gifts; photo albums and notebooks by Nkuku.

All Nkuku’s products are Eco-friendly, handmade and fairtrade. They are made using age old traditional techniques by skilled artisans in Africa and India. These skills combine extremely well with the contemporary designs, natural materials and sustainable methods of production.

Nkuku photo albums and notebooks are available in a range of different designs and sizes. All have acid free cotton fibre pages which are handmade from cotton rag left over from the clothing industry; the albums benefit from acid free interleaves and are supplied in a recycled paper cotton box which make them and ideal gift.

The leather for the albums and notebooks is all hand-dyed using tree bark and natural vegetable extracts. It is then left to dry in the sun, which brings out the lovely rich colours.

The Kubu Album makes a lovely gift for him with its dark brown leather cover, hand torn pages and simple leather tie to keep it closed.

If you are looking for a gift for her then look no further than the Recycled Sari Album. These albums are beautiful and made from recycled sari's which can be up to twenty years old.

These albums and notebooks are are also great for sketching, oil painting, pastels, stamp collecting or as rather posh scrap books.

By buying one of these items you will be supporting fair trade and community initiatives in India and Africa. The artisans are paid a decent wage for their work. Working conditions are safe and a good standard and no children are exploited.
