Having just returned from the suppliers in India I thought a LIV up date was due and especially the goings on in India. Our Indian partners are developing fast with the Calcutta factory opening a new show room and buyers area which is air-conditioned, wireless AND has it's own toilet (very important!).

The spring colours for the jersey Essentials range are in - beautiful pale blue and pink for a real fresh spring look - these colours are limited edition so get your orders in fast!

Also, the samples for the Autumn/Winter knitwear range have been produced in the Delhi Factory - very exciting! This factory has also moved to brand new premises and the workers are enjoying well lit, clean work areas with a canteen being built on the roof! All these new developments are a good indicator of the fast growing demand for Fairtrade and organic product throughout Europe, USA, Canada and Australia.

The magazine editors are just loving Liv bed linen at the moment with features in the 'Best Ten' page of last month's edition of The Independent and in this month's edition of Essential Kitchen, Bathroom Bedroom!! So how about a spring clean and freshen up your bedrooms and bathrooms with some gorgeous new organic and Fairtrade bed linen and towels - and treat yourself with a new jersey essential top in the fresh spring colours!
