Saving the environment one pair of pants at a time, the Eco Design Fair flogs wares with a conscience this weekend. The fair's founder, recycled-textiles artist Louise Kamara, kits-out the Old Truman Brewery with an array of socially aware and innovatively designed products just in time for Christmas. Among those trading are Pants to Poverty, with their aforementioned Fairtrade undergarments; Naomi Dean Furniture, which specialises in reclaimed office furnishings; laced-lampshade experts Lizzie Lee Lighting; and Junkyard Chic who make wallpaper with an eco flair.
