I agree Mike, it was just that I saw the danger of losing a lot of the potential market by appearing unattractive on price. As Diverse says, this hamper is for a high end magazine, so the price thing is probably not going to be as important as I thought it might.

As a consumer I always like to look out for eco-friendly products, but price sometimes affects my decisions. In the long term the best solution will be when the big companies develop a fairer system of global trading, so that poor suppliers are not forced to remain in poverty. Unfortunately, a lot of consumers don't care that much about people in India or China living in slave labour conditions, but developing a guilty conscience about such things can change markets.
