Eric Henry is at it again, featured on another podcast about sustainable fashion. This time Anne McGinty of How I Built My Small Business, speaks with him about The Fight Against Fashion’s Waste Crisis. He covers our journey, from acquiring customers via the Yellow Pages before faxes were even a thing, up to today, where our story—that wearing clothes from a transparent and local supply chain, rather than going for the cheapest option—is our value proposition.
“We give our customers the tools to understand our value chain and it’s not that our product costs more, it’s that overseas fast fashion is not priced properly. Because, again, that cheap thing you got through Shein or Temu—you have to question the work environment and the environmental degradation of buying something that’s going to last a very short period of time—but those costs aren’t being recognized or passed along.” Give it a listen!
