Designers in both fashion and costume cannot compete against high street retailers. Market research suggests that ethical/fairtrade is rated incredibly highly by consumers, yet Fairtrade goods have a very small market share in reality. So people are looking for ‘value for money’ over whether an item is ethically sourced/Fair-trade. 
Over the centuries crafts workers are people who have been left to find a way of surviving as and when mass production means their work is no longer commercially viable. We look to develop products the West will buy.
