Summary
Ever considered the journey your clothes take before they grace your closet?
Or wondered about the environmental and ethical impact of fast fashion?
Or pondered what it *really* means when a brand new T-shirt only costs $5?
To shed light on these crucial but often overlooked topics, I’m joined by Daisy Burgess and Caroline Poiner, the dynamic mother-daughter duo behind the sustainable fashion brand, Cloth & Co.
These passionate founders are on a mission to reshape our understanding of fashion. Their vision? To empower consumers to transition out of the damaging cycle of fast fashion by creating sustainable, ethical, beautiful clothing options that value both our planet and its people.
From the ins and outs of Cloth & Co.'s unique story, to the staggering realities of fast fashion, this discussion covers it all. Press play to hear: the astonishing life cycle of the clothes in your closet, the lesser-known industry secrets that will should be making headline news, exposing the gender discrimination that’s rampant in the garment industry, the role of major brands in perpetuating fast fashion, and how we as consumers can start making more informed choices.
Though these topics might sound weighty, the conversation is stacked with hope, inspiration and must-know practical tips — like Daisy and Caroline’s personal wardrobe and shopping strategies, their advice on selecting timeless pieces, and incredibly useful techniques to extend the lifespan of your garments. (Seriously, EVERYONE should know this stuff!)
Put simply, if you've ever purchased a piece of clothing, this episode is essential listening. Whether you're a fashionista, an environmental advocate, or just someone looking to make more conscious choices, press play now: your closet, your wallet AND the planet will all thank you.
