Ethical, independent, sustainable: the Makers Trading Company supports everything we love here at Oh Comely. An ethical alternative to mass-producing retailers, they aim to transform how we shop by letting customers meet the creator behind their new skirt or bag – and this unique experience is taking place in their new pop-up in Shoreditch.

With a strong emphasis on film, their website includes a selection of recordings revealing the making processes and histories behind the brands they stock. Dom from Haeckels is recorded making the perfume by hand in Margate; Duncan from Dalston Cola mixes ingredients together in Hackney Wick and Franki and Ali from Francli, who we photographed in issue 25 for our Outdoorswomen series, design their craft aprons in Cornwall. The company say: "we use the medium of film to be completely honest about how each product is made."

From the 5th June, The Makers Trading Company are hosting a pop-up in One Good Deed Today, a new lifestyle retailer in Shoreditch. Until September, the shop will sell a variety of brands, including Dalston Cola, Francli Craftwear, Haeckels and Vakay Eyewear, giving customers the chance to meet the makers and learn about their craftsmanship. All the brands share similar ethical values: Francli locally source their materials; Haeckels, the fragrance and skincare brand, has one of two licenses in England to harvest seaweed, placing emphasis on environmental care; Vakay makes sunglasses by hand in Tunisia, using sustainable wood.

So, for all fans of ethical and sustainable clothes and skincare (and everything in between): The Makers Trading Company are hosting their launch party on Friday 5th June at One Good Deed Today, from 6-9pm.

The Makers Trading Company pop-up shop is at One Good Deed Today from 5th June. Take a look at their website for more info.
