Bags of Change is a loyalty scheme with a difference. Instead of a plastic card, shoppers get stylish ethically-made bags that award them discounts on ethical goods at participating stores nationwide.

The Bags of Change website lists a growing network of independent retailers that sell fairtrade, local, organic and sustainable goods.

Bag owners also receive a free monthly e-newsletter that gives them all the latest news on ethical shopping in their area.

Are you an independent retailer selling organic, fairtrade, local or sustainable goods? Then you may be eligible to join the scheme. Please click here for further details.

We have two beautiful bags. The original bag now comes in 3 new colours and under £15.00. Made from organic hemp-cotton with coconut shell buttons. All the processing of the bag is low impact and the fabric, dyes and prints are biodegradable. The new fairly traded bag is made from wild rubber sustainably tapped and produced by a co-operative in the Brazilian Amazon. Looks and feels like leather.

Buy a Bag of Change in any of the participating stores, or buy one online.
