Each Baja is made using reclaimed textile fibres — 50% acrylic and 50% cotton.

The fibres are sorted into colours and pulped down until they are ready to be re-spun into new yarn.

This results in a wonderfully thick, and warm hoodie.

We source our baja hoodies from a family business in Mexico that have been operating for over 50 years. They make the recycled yarn themselves and collect discarded clothing from all over the country to produce it.

Bajas (pronounced baa-haas) have a wide range of nicknames including jergas, hippy jumpers, drug rugs and festival ponchos.

We trade with mainly small workshops and producers on a Fair Trade basis. Many of our products are entirely handmade and natural variations should be expected, goods received may differ in a number of ways from the picture shown. This should be seen as an asset, not a fault – we believe it is better to have a unique item than mass conformity.

Woodcarvings: Part of what makes our woodcarvings so special is that the artisans are utilizing a natural medium and as such the carver often adapts their designs slightly to work better with the shape of the wood they are given. Wood colours may also vary slightly and show other natural features like knots or light patches. If you have a specific request you can leave us a note in the order comments on the basket screen and we will try our best to find an appropriate match for you.

Not quite, some items are exclusive to our website but the majority of our products are now available to buy on Faire.

We always strive to maintain a reciprocally loyal relationship with all our wholesale customers. As part of this we would not normally, for example, open an account for a new customer who would directly compete with an established one. We would allow customers in close proximity to purchase from us if their stock lines were obviously disparate. As an example, we would supply both a music shop with our instruments and a clothing boutique with our clothing lines in the same vicinity.
Having said this, every case is different and in order for us to make a decision on the subject we have to consider several things. Should a customer spend a very small amount with us compared to other similar suppliers, it would not be fair on us to agree to exclusive lines. We also would have to look at the punctuality of payments and whether orders are achieving a high enough order value. Finally, in larger towns and cities where there is an increased customer footfall, it should be possible for us to supply more than one account as long as they are a sufficient distance apart.
