Welcome to The Addington Store.

We are a pocket-sized store,  nestled into the corner of  Addington Coffee Co-op, in Christchurch, NZ.  

We love Ethical, Local and Eco goods, but we also go a step further and redistribute our profits to transform communities in Kolkata who have been damaged by human-trafficking & extreme poverty.

Our place is yours.

Come on in!

" Every time you spend money - you cast a vote for the kind of world you want"

 Anna Lappe, sustainable food advocate.

"It isn't enough to look for quality in the products we buy, we must ensure there is quality in the lives of the people who make them"

Orsola de Castro, co-founder of the fashion revolution.

Addington Coffee co-op started in 2008, as a way to give consumers, producers and their communities a vehicle to make the changes in their lives that they want to see in the world. Our aim was to bring those worlds closer so that we could learn from one another, not only through trade and the exchange of products, but also through sharing life together and living in the same communities.
