Sustainability, eco-friendly, ethically sourced are all key words of modern living and if we can make 'green' choices with our food and clothes, why not our homewares too? Check out the new gorgeous Ethical Homeware range from sojustshop.com

So Just Shop is an accessories, homeware and gifting marketplace working directly with women-led artisans from some of the most vulnerable communities in the world. The mission is to raise 250,000 women and their families out of abject poverty. SJS have supported 4,000 women and their families to date but more work needs to be done. 

Each piece is handmade by a women's artisan group from across 20 countries and three continents with more than 40 sellers. By working with women-led artisans and ensuring they are being paid a living wage, giving them access to an international market and international price points for their goods, So Just Shop economically empowers women and consequently raises them, their families and whole communities out of poverty.

From mugs to linen, tableware to home furnishing there's heaps of inspiration for your wedding day gift list from the new collection, and you can rest assured that each item will be making a change in the world – what a great wedding present!
