It’s been a bad week for plastic bags.

Marks & Spencer has announced that as of May 6 it’s going to charge five pence for every plastic bag customers need to carry food purchases. Now five pence isn’t going to break the bank, but it will be interesting to see if consumers are prepared to cough up or whether some will see this as a moral crusade too far.

M&S reckons it hands out 394million bags for food every year – which is a lot of unused carriers stuffed under the sink.

NOW that the dust has settled after London Fashion Week it’s clear once again ethical
fashion has been a big draw.

Dedicated shows this year like Estethica, which was sponsored by popular Canary Wharf
retailers Monsoon and Accessorize, have highlighted the cream of existing ethical labels, while many mainstream designers have given a nod to fairly traded fabrics and organic cotton.

Closer to home, there are a bunch of up-and-coming designers who are shaping the face of ethical fashion for the future.
