The second installment of our summer pop-ups brings, our long time friends Textile Traders UK back to West Yorkshire.
Specialising in batiks from South East Asia, they have over 40 years experience in travel and trade. Buying direct from makers, trading fairly and ethically is just as important to them as it is to us!
Over the years their suppliers have become family and although founders Jim and Di have started to step away from the buiness, they are leaving it in the capable hands of son Sean and family friend Olli.
A story very similar to our own...
You can find out more about Textile Traders UK by visiting their website textiletraders.co.uk
