 | The Fairy Family The Fairy Family are a collection of decorative fairies, ethically produced in Thailand. There are various families of fairies, each with a different purpose in life. Some look after the seasons, some the health of humans, while others like the mischevious Wood Elves just like having fun! Each fairy is hand decorated in cottons, silks, nylons and other materials. They're finished with beads and ribbons, and features are hand painted. Every fairy is supplied in a clear acetate presentation carton with a backing card detailing the family the fairy belongs to and the fairy's particular characteristics. You can bend the arms and legs to pose the fairy in lots of positions, and they're supplied with a fine golden thread by which they can be suspended. The fairies are produced in an ethically managed factory in Thailand where the predominantly female workforce is drawn from rural areas (where poverty is worst) and encouraged to work from home where they can look after their families better. The production company pays a proportion of yearly profits into a social development fund run in partnership with the Royal Thai government. We continue the ethical theme in the UK by producing all the backing cards used in the presentation cartons on 100% recycled card, printed using a waterless ink process that massively reduces the levels of toxins released during the print process. Please note these are decorative items for house or garden, not toys, and should not be given to small children due to small parts. |
