The ethical fashion brand People Tree is putting its UK business into liquidation with debts of more than £8.5m including money owed to suppliers, customers and most of its British workforce.
Founded by the former wife and husband team Safia and James Minney, People Tree’s celebrity following included the film star Emma Watson and the model Jo Wood. It became an influential voice in UK fashion, using organic materials and campaigning for better treatment of garment workers around the world.
