Ethik
HUSKISSON, NSW
A fair-trade shop on Owen Street in Huskisson, run by Nicky and Steve, stocking handmade goods sourced from named producers and sold with the makers' stories attached. The range leans heavily on Nepal: jewellery from Samunnat, a women's collective supporting survivors of violence, a felt line made for the shop, and an organic-cotton clothing range designed in Australia and sewn there in small batches. Open seven days.
