Shared Earth sells Fair Trade, recycled, eco-friendly and ethical products. Our mission is to tackle the climate crisis and create a fairer, more sustainable world. We are a WFTO (World Fair Trade Organisation) member, and our performance is monitored regularly against the Ten Principles set by WFTO for Fair Trade organisations. Shared Earth began as a small shop in York in 1986. Jeremy Piercy, founder and Managing Director, travelled to India after leaving school and wanted to do something to help redress the imbalance of wealth in the world, work together with people from different cultures, and at the same time earn a living. Fair Trade was the obvious answer and the original shop contained a wide mix of products from Asia, Africa and South America. Shared Earth now imports its own unique home and giftware, jewellery, fashion accessories, wood, ceramics, paper, soapstone and kids ranges making us the largest retailer and wholesaler of Fair Trade products in the UK. Our policy is to provide quality, design-led products, not just to those who are already aware of Fair Trade principles. With Fair Trade sales showing no sign of slowing, more and more employment is being provided for artisans in developing countries, many of who would otherwise be out of work. At a time when global conflict seems also on the increase, Shared Earth's partnerships with producers are an invaluable way of building bridges, showing that people can work together for mutual benefit, no matter what their race, religion or culture.

Amazing buying experience and a fabulous seller-my daughter ordered an apron and a re-usable bag as a Birthday present for her friend (with a very short notice); the lovely items arrived the next day! I would highly recommend them and will definitely buy again. Thank you!

I placed several orders with Shared Earth in the run-up to Christmas and was really impressed — not just with the products, but with the whole experience. I love the company’s ethical philosophy: environmentally conscious, socially responsible, and focused on fair trade. It makes a real difference knowing the items are thoughtfully sourced and handmade.
Everything I received was beautiful and clearly well crafted — high-quality pieces that feel special rather than mass-produced.
What truly stood out, though, was the customer service — especially from Kai. I had an issue with one item, and the care and effort she put into resolving it were exceptional. Her communication was warm, proactive, and genuinely helpful, and she went above and beyond to make things right. It’s rare to receive service that memorable, and she is a real asset to the company.
A wonderful business with strong values, lovely products, and outstanding customer care. I would happily recommend them and will definitely order again.

Fell in love with a gorgeous miniature albesia wood settee with a family of dogs sitting on it in the Liverpool branch of Shared Earth before Christmas, and have just bought it, plus a hanging moon with two cats as presents for my daughter's birthday. January is a rubbish time for a birthday but these will really brighten her day! They arrived promptly, very well packaged, and are gorgeous things to behold - very well made and in perfect condition. The price was very reasonable too. Very happy customer, thanks!

Initially bought 6 rainbow mugs at the shop in Alnwick, loved them . Broke 2 at Christmas so looked ro see if I could get replacements online. Yes plus a 20% discount so bought 3 to replace the 2 we had broken!
Service was awesome. Ordered the weekend after Christmas and they arrived before New Year.
Great service and we do love mugs.

I’ve ordered 12 times from Shared Earth over the last two years, and every single order has been a really positive experience. There is such a great range of gifts to share with others and items that I’ve wanted for myself - all responsibly sourced and supplied, with that ‘good feel’ to them, and much appreciated by family and friends.

I’ve ordered several room sprays over the years and the support is always superb. The products arrive really quickly and are always great quality. I would highly recommend!

I used to very regularly visit your shop on Bold Street, and the one in York when I lived there too. Unfortunately I can't handle getting there with my anxiety. That's why I was delighted to find out I could make an order online, although I miss going to visit in store. Everything I ordered was packaged beautifully and arrived perfectly intact. It also arrived faster than I expected. Thank you 🌠✨️

Brilliantly packaged and arrived safely thank you!!
Lovely item too!
