Eco/Fair Trade supply chain

I'm looking for good reads about fair trade supply chains in clothing and cotton industry. Did anyone made something about GOTS, Oeco-Tex certified textile or something similar?

 

Catherine Dolan did something about Kenyan roses I think, but textile?

Olumide Abimbola wrote a PhD recently (MPI Halle) on second hand clothing between Britain and Nigeria.

Well, that's two put downs for the price of one suggestion. Obviously i wouldn't have made the suggestion if I didn't think there was a possible link, whatever the obvious differences.

Well i'm not sure how deep i should dig into the 2nd hand market in Africa because the certification/standardization is important to me. But isn't the 2nd hand market what Anna Tsing means by "supply chains don't use pre-existing diversity; they also revitalize and create niche segregation through advising economic performace"? (2009: 150)
