Jewellery and gift brand Linden Tree, situated in Cockermouth, has launched a new store as the famous Main Street outlet was falling short of area.
This one is called 'The Banyan Tree' and it showcases Fair Trade and ethically traded products. Owner Gloria Bridle and her assistant Anja Woodward wish to stock it gradually with similar items.
Beaded and embroidered Indian wedding saris and scarves are available, whose gains are donated to an Indian hospital. Rich textiles such as hand woven and hand printed fabrics, scarves prepared from eco-friendly vegetable silk and cotton padded quilts are on display.
This Linden Tree outlet also offers purses, handmade bags, mirrors, wind chimes, shimmering ceramic beads, copper jewellery from Africa and South American jewellery.
