Started in Nottingham, 2009, by two Nottingham Trent University graduates who took part in Aegis’ ‘Discover Rwanda’ trip in 2008, a second shop was opened in 2011.
The shops are named White Rose in honour of the White Rose student resistance group in Nazi Germany in the 1940s. They have established themselves as very popular stores within Nottingham, with a large regular customer base.
