Importing rugs from India – it’s second Nature to us!

We were delighted to be able to offer our services to a small, local family business, Second Nature, recently.

Second Nature has a gorgeous shop in Dumfries along with a successful online business and their products are sourced from all over the world, including Morocco and India. The business believes in the principles of fair trade and environmental protection, and are passionate about sourcing and importing products that fit with their principles, and are either natural, fair trade or eco-friendly. Of course, it helps that the products are all high quality and wonderful to browse.

We were asked to assist the company with a recent import of fantastic products, including a range of hand loomed Indian rugs. They had two containers which needed to be transported from Kerala, and we were more than happy to help.  The company were so impressed that in their own words they became ‘geeky’ about being able to watch the two containers as they made their way from Kerala to Felixstowe, mentioning on their Facebook page that they’d watched the shipments on the Marine Tracker app and been very excited as they watched one dock, and the other making its way around Portugal!

We look forward to being able to help Second Nature with more of their imports in the future and bring more of their fantastic wares to the UK from overseas.
