'Weird Fish' have arrived!!

No don't get me wrong - I have not just returned from a day's fishing off the beach at Perranuthnoe with a haul of weird and wonderful fish, the 'Weird Fish' I am referring to
is a quailty clothing brand that has style,individuality, a sense of fun and offers great value for money.

Weird Fish clothing is worn by men, women, and children. People wear Weird Fish for just about every activity; walking, sailing, gardening, shopping or just going to the pub/restaurant.

And - now I am excited to annouce that we have become stockists of Weird Fish!! Our first consignment arrived yesterday and today it is hanging on the rails in the Village Crafts shop.


Weird Fish ethics - direct from the company -


'We think we are an ethical company. we concentrate our ethical approach on the factories where our clothing is made.

We insist the all production of Weird Fish is based in the "home" and that all of the factories that we deal with are clean, modern and safe.In Turkey our production is mainly in 100% cotton fabrics. Cotton is a "natural crop" product and Turkey is one of the largest growers of cotton in the world. Any factory in Turkey that employs more than 30 people must by law provide them with a hot meal each day as well as transport to and from work.Weird Fish employs a full-time agent and three full-time quality controllers in Turkey. We are working with our suppilers daily and we are confident of their ethical behaviour.

In China and India we do not have full-time representation but we have a full-time very experienced quality control manager based in our UK offices who spends much of her time travelling to and working with the factories in these countries.
We use the same factories as some of the best known clothing brands and we make certain that all of our production is based in the "home" factory. We do not allow any manufacturer to sub-contract our work.We would like to think that all of our garments are produced from "green" organic sources, but this is very difficult to verify and we are not in this position yet.

What we can say is that the companies manufacturing Weird Fish clothing all employ adult workers in clean, modern conditions and pay a fair wage to their employees and this is the most important thing to us. '

To continue - The manufacturing industry in this country has been in decline for many years - and if things have to be made abroad then - they must be made on a fair trade basis.

At Village Crafts this has been our aim - and it will continue to be so

So come to our shop in Perranuthnoe if you can - we will be really pleased to see you.
