It’s time for the second part of our walk with Patrick Grant!
Patrick tells us about his passion for material sciences and then what led him to the decision to buy a tailors on Saville Row after seeing an advert in the Financial Times. Patrick tells us about the impact of the Great British Sewing Bee, as well as the joys of making more and using less.
Patrick’s book LESS - Stop Buying So Much Rubbish: How Having Fewer Better Things Can Make Us Happier is available now!
