About | Sara Collins - Ethical Production

My story

Hi, I’m Sara, and I believe in making ethical production accessible (and stress free) for independent brands. That’s why I focus on connecting fair trade enterprises and ethical manufacturers with conscious businesses, and guide them through the production process.

Coming from a fair trade background, I am passionate about working in partnership with suppliers and believe mutual respect and shared values are the key to longlasting partnerships within your business.

My Experience

With over eight years experience in ethical production for both retail and wholesale, I’ve built strong, personal relationships with social enterprises all around the world, from Bali to India, Cambodia to Kenya.

I’m now live by the sea in the North East of England, but I travelled extensively to work with skilled artisans. Through years of experience I have gained a wealth of insight into working with artisans and manufacturers globally.

Over the years I have worked directly with artisans combining design and craft skills to create complete export collections, nothing brings me more joy than helping skilled artisans connect with well-intentioned businesses.

What it’s all about

Above all else, I have a real passion for making a positive change.
