Shared Earth sells Fair Trade, recycled, eco-friendly and ethical products. Our mission is to tackle the climate crisis and create a fairer, more sustainable world. We are a WFTO (World Fair Trade Organisation) member, and our performance is monitored regularly against the Ten Principles set by WFTO for Fair Trade organisations. Shared Earth began as a small shop in York in 1986. Jeremy Piercy, founder and Managing Director, travelled to India after leaving school and wanted to do something to help redress the imbalance of wealth in the world, work together with people from different cultures, and at the same time earn a living. Fair Trade was the obvious answer and the original shop contained a wide mix of products from Asia, Africa and South America. Shared Earth now imports its own unique home and giftware, jewellery, fashion accessories, wood, ceramics, paper, soapstone and kids ranges making us the largest retailer and wholesaler of Fair Trade products in the UK. Our policy is to provide quality, design-led products, not just to those who are already aware of Fair Trade principles. With Fair Trade sales showing no sign of slowing, more and more employment is being provided for artisans in developing countries, many of who would otherwise be out of work. At a time when global conflict seems also on the increase, Shared Earth's partnerships with producers are an invaluable way of building bridges, showing that people can work together for mutual benefit, no matter what their race, religion or culture.

Wonderful products. I love the desi gulab products - the most authentic rose smell I have found.

I had such an amazing experience with Shared Earth. I contacted their York store to source a bag, and they were so helpful and efficient, they arranged for it to be shipped straight away. I was especially impressed that they even replied instantly on a Sunday! Their customer service is truly outstanding kind, prompt, and personal. Highly recommend!
I also had a wonderful tarot card reading during a previous visit, which made the experience even more special. I can’t wait to visit the store again one day. So grateful and impressed with how wonderful they are! 🌍💚

I loved the entire range of products on the easy to navigate website and the additional discount on the day I made my purchase was a nice bonus! The products I bought were of good quality and really lovely - packaged nicely and smooth and quick delivery process, including updates. Would recommend and also order again!

Yet another pair of stone elephants to join the herd in the garden! Great quality, securely packaged and delivered quickly. Can’t ask for more.

Wonderful service for a slightly off-beat request, requiring delivery arrangements to Singapore. The lovely bag arrived and was the perfect birthday present!

Bought two little incense stick-holders, both of which are attractive and practical - I love the Shared Earth aesthetic, as well as the ethics! Delivery was prompt and efficient.

Package arrived sooner than expected and although it was a huge box for 2 small items, at least it was all recycled and recyclable and they arrived in tact (ceramics)

Everything progessed as it should without any problems. I was kept up to date with progress.
The item was delivered on time.

My order was dispatched quickly and each item carefully wrapped and packaged well. All items were good very quality and sourced ethically.

Reply from Shared Earth
It was easy to order, the items were great value (and ethically sourced). They arrived well packaged, in great condition (esp given the three items I ordered were fragile) with fully recyclable packaging - which was great to see.
I ordered a bird sculpture as one of my items, and it was a really lovely size and quality. My mirror hanger for the garden arrived un-chipped and is lovely. The discount on both was a bonus, as they were good value already.
I also ordered a beautifully scented room fragrance which arrived safely.
Only slight issue was the delay in delivery from the company used given the dispatch date, but as there was no immediate urgency, it was fine.

Fab ethically produced product (material string of birds), excellent value for money, prompt dispatch and delivery. Will buy from this company again abd definitely recommend.
Amendment: oops, wrong store duh! I bought 2 suncatchers from here. Good price, prompt dispatch and delivery but as they're not glass (I didn't read the small print) so don't reflect colours. I would buy from this site again though and definitely recommend.
