“If we are to better the future we must disturb the present”
Catherine Booth

Inequality in trade throughout the world must be disturbed if we are to be part of the solution, helping to improve the lives of those currently living in poverty. Fairtrade is part of the answer and offers consumers a fairer alternative when buying everyday products. We’re excited to offer a range affordable T-Shirts made with both Fairtrade certified and organic cotton, to the New Zealand market.

Micah Clothing aims to respect the people who produce the cotton, manufacture the clothing and those wearing it. Micah Clothing is founded on the principals of Micah 6:8 to “Act Justly, Love Mercy and Walk Humbly”.

Darren Frazer a part time Salvation Army Youth Workers went looking for a source of Fairtrade Cotton t-shirts in New Zealand, but found none, so decided to do something about it. We have ensured our supply chain is registered under the FLO ( Fairtrade Labelling Organisation) , the cotton is also organic ( Certified by SKAL).

Micah Clothing is based in the small Southland town of Winton. It is our hope to travel around New Zealand raising awareness of trade and justice issues, while at the same time letting people see our range of products. We are currently working on a number of presentations which will be suitable for all sorts of groups, from Church groups, schools, youth groups, womans groups, service groups. Please contact us if you would like us to visit, we promise it will be interactive and engaging.

At this stage products are not for sale in any shops, however we welcome expressions of interest from retail outlets looking for an ethical range of clothing. Please contact us to discuss this.

On the site you will find our printed range of clothing, currently this is a range of t-shirts, however in the coming months the range will expand into other clothing items, so keep an eye on the site.

Bulk purchases of unprinted clothing are also available, due to stock levels we may not always have what you need in stock, so encourage you to contact us to discuss any bulk orders, we are offering some very good deals on clothing ordered when we place our orders.

We are also happy to discuss how any organizations that fit with our goals can use Micah Clothing as a fundraising tool.

If you have any questions about us and what we're about we'd love to hear from you.
