We have a very personal view of Fair Trade. Our concept of Fair Trade stems from our respect for and friendship with the groups of crafts people in North and West Africa who produce many of the goods.

As we know these artisans and count them as personal friends it is important to us to ensure that they get a fair price for their goods, and the orders mean a great deal to them and their communities.

We deal directly with these cooperatives and we can therefore ensure the fairest possible prices for our customers which in turn means more sales for the artisans. All sustainable agreements must always be beneficial for all parties concerned.

The name of our company - Cadwyn - is in fact a Welsh word meaning a 'chain' or 'link' and it is our aim through this website to act as a link between you and the cooperatives in Africa who produce these lovely Fair Trade Gifts.
