Earth Positive Clothing hold lower prices

Last month we lowered the price of Earth Positive clothing. It’s the one range that is Fair Wear registered as well as been organic cotton and being very dainty on its feet with a very low carbon footprint. Remember it ? yes its the one that ticks all the Eco boxes.
With the world in melt down, the house market, the banks and the spiralling prices for energy EP will be holding their lower prices. Earth Positive apparel does not rely on oil for its energy, it relies on wind power which is clean renewable and free. Overall this makes EP clothing a very sensible way to go.
Check out the Acorn website and see the complete range. Acorn can embroider and print all the garments with your logo or strap line.

 The Fair Wear and Fair Trade registration of Companies products Guarantees a better deal for disadvantaged Cotton farmers. Many farmers in the developing countries have to contend with fluctuating prices that may not cover their costs. In general all the larger manufacturers now ensure their producers are treated well. The registration confirms that.
Several of Acorn’s garments are now Fair Wear or Fair Trade. We even have a section for you to choose from. All these garments can be personalised by Acorn.
