Oxfam (called Intermón Oxfam in some countries) and its shops have been selling ethnic items before ethnic items were a mainstream fashion or ethnic a cool adjective.
Oxfam Shop in Perth city is small, but also charming and colourful, and has a good selection of world gifts at decent prices. I have always fancied most of the things they have on display, and all of them are affordable and within a wide range of prices. You will find home decoration items, stationary, kitchenware, jewellery, scarves, handbags, toys, games, musical instruments, packaged fair-trade coffee, tea, and spices, among many other things.
The Oxfam Shop is not only a shopping heaven for people who love ethnic items and fair-trade produce, but also a conscious conscience exercise, as you will immediately remind yourself that, when we shop, we usually forget to ask ourselves questions as important as: Where does this come from? How is it produced? Do the makers get a fair price for it? Is this authentic? Does my purchase help the makers and their communities to make a decent living out without being exploited or slaved by middlemen?
The staff have always been welcoming and friendly. It couldn't be otherwise! Drop by to buy - You have the perfect excuse.
