My Problem with Childrens Clothing


I am sure we have all seen slightly “grown up” children’s clothing. While it may seem rather inappropriate, it is also true that the market is only going to respond to what parents want.

At the time this seemed like a pretty good target,Continue reading “The Basic Issues of Fast Fashion”

Can our Stationery Fiasco be explained?


whenever I walk past somewhere like paperchase, I cannot resist taking a wander in and looking at all of the various pens, notepads and rubbers (as well as the Boris Johnson dog toys) just to see what they have on offer. But how healthy is our new found love of stationery?
