About Us

Tribal Mango is small family business located in the heart of Cumbria, close to Penrith. Maybe because we live in a rural community set amongst open countryside we feel attracted to things that are natural and sustainable rather than man-made and polluting. That is certainly one reason why where possible the range on offer is made from natural materials. For example, we were very pleased to come across the great bags made from jute, a material which is not only highly durable, natural and sustainable but biodegradable too. 

What we offer is handmade because we like the idea that individuals matter; although many of us like to wear jewellery and use fashion accessories, we don’t always want to buy mass produced things made by large faceless companies.  At Tribal Mango we prefer things that have been made by individuals who benefit by being paid fairly for what they produce.  If business, however small, can encourage this then that can only be a good thing.

Ethical and Fair Trade

Everything we offer is sourced from developing countries including; India, Indonesia and Peru, from ethical and fair trade suppliers.  All of our suppliers operate using ethical standards concerning working conditions, pay and child labour. All of our fair trade suppliers operate according to the criteria set by the British Association for Fair Trade Shops. See our Ethical and Fair Trade page for more information.

Business Ethic

At Tribal Mango our main priority is to provide good quality products at a good price together with excellent customer service. However, we are also concerned with sustainability, minimising environmental impact, giving something back in the form of donating part of our profit to charity and encouraging ethical and fair trade. See our Business Ethics page for more information.
