Coming soon...

It's a bit chilly at the moment up at Hay Castle, so don't forget we currently have up to a third off all our knitwear. There may be snow on the way so stay warm out there! We're taking the opportunity during the quieter weeks at the start of the year to look for loads more interesting and unusual items to stock in time for Spring. We've already got some really beautiful new mango wood pieces which we'll have up on the website soon. Also on the way we have...

...more incredible jewellery from Cambodia, as well as more of our ever popular Elephant Cement accessories;
...more stock from our friends in Mexico - rugs, mirrors, and our spooky yet stylish black clay skulls!
...more clothes including a range of womenswear which will be perfect for the summer;
...Nepalese arts and crafts including some incredible copper pieces;
...some kids toys and playthings to keep our younger ethical superheroes contented. 

We hope to add all of these items online as soon as we get them. And we'll have more offers and discounts for customers, so if you haven't signed up to our mailing list yet, why not join us? Or if you're more socially minded you can like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/18RabbitShop

Creative Cambodia

by Louise Davies | December 12, 2012 | 0 Comments

We’re delighted to be the first UK stockists of Craftworks Cambodia’s products. They’re an innovative group who produce bags and accessories from recycled sacks and inner tubes, and jewellery made from bomb casings and bullets recovered from the war in the 1970s. Pretty amazing stuff! We've been chatting regularly by email and getting a real insight into the group. They’ve sent us information and photos of the individual artisans, many of whom are suffering with HIV/AIDS or disabilities due to mines.



We’ve just received our first instalment of jewellery which is now available here. Unfortunately the artisan who produces the jewellery is currently unwell, but he should be back on his feet soon and we’ll have some additions to the range. 

Hope you like their products and, remember, every purchase goes towards helping these talented people live a more comfortable and sustainable life.
