It all started one fine day in August 2009, when a family from Hertfordshire made the drastic decision to just 'up-sticks' and move lock stock & barrel to sunny Cornwall.

After a short while, once the initial excitement of the beautiful scenery, the clean air by the sea, and the relaxed Cornish way of life had worn off a little, the Mother of the family realised that there was nowhere within a 12 mile radius to buy her children any decent new clothes. In fact it was so silly, that she had to resort to the Internet to buy her son some decent Wellie Boots - and so her Internet shopping began!

The summer days, and the Cornish winter set in. With the harsh winds blowing, no family or friends close by to keep her amused, and the children happily settled in school each day, the Mother spent her time drinking endless cups of coffee and trawling the Internet to kill the time.

With the Next catalogue now exhausted and all the best clothes either being in the U.S.A. or Europe, the Mother realised that if 'she' couldn't find anywhere decent local to shop - then neither could anyone else in the area!

And so the idea of Glamtastic Baby was born.....

The Mothers' Promise....

Never to try to sell anything that she wouldn't put her own kids in
To only source ethical clothing - no sweat shops - no child labour - no nasty stuff
To keep her pricing as reasonable as physically possible (she's not trying to be a millionaire - just to help pay the weekly food bill will do!)
To try to make sure that most of Glamtastic Baby clothes are that 'little bit different' from everything else in the shops
To open a retail shop for the 'local' area as soon as she can - as well as an on-line shop for the rest of the world!
To listen to what her customers have to say - all comments always welcome - (OK - even the bad ones! )

Hooligan Kids - Fair trade clothing from Africa

Mission Statement

Hooligans are working towards offical Fair Trade status and are passionate about their ideals

We asked Hooligans their views on fair working practises and how they can make a difference

"What do we think is FAIR in Africa? What is Fair Trade to Hooligans? Why we think we are different!

We have over the years learnt that working with people from previously disadvantaged communities means much more than the bottom line of profit. For workers to clock in day after day on time it often means pulling themselves away from a home in which they are the single female household providers. Others come to work with bruises that are caused by spousal abuse. Children are left to their own devices while mothers work.

With this very "close to our heart" fact , Hooligans embarked on a decided course of action to help these woman gain the respect they deserve. After all , the passion that goes into making the wonderful clothing we design , comes only from a special person, which each and every one of the Hooligans 'helpers" are.

Weekly counseling has been scheduled for an outside advice desk to counsel workers. This has seen an unprecedented 'empowerment" take place amongst the proud ladies!

Not only that , through our affiliation and monitoring of their co-operative we have put in place fair trade practices which sees them have a say in prices set in the market place. No worker earns less for their piece than what is pre-agreed on. They assist with the costings and a customer can rest assured that what they are buying has not been at the disadvantage of a human being's basic rights to a fair wage.

The "Worker of the Month" cash prize has seen a portion of their prize being donated to our "Compassion Fund" and we match that amount. Applications are then forwarded to a committee appointed by themselves which sees the funds distributed to the most needy , be it a lack of sanitation , school fees or emergency medical funds of the qualifying worker.

Through our social investment into the Co-operative , not only are we seeing more smiles as lives improved , but also a compassion of fellow worker

And that's why we decided to stock Hooligan Kids at Glamtastic Baby!
