172 | From Fast To Slow Fashion With Emma & Leanne Duncan
It’s no secret that the fashion industry is problematic. From materials to manufacturing to the retail models themselves, a lot of damage is wrought upon the people producing the clothes as well as the planet. As the world slowly wakes up to the long-term effects of these business practices, it’s encouraging to see people act more responsibly, taking steps to produce ’slow fashion’ centred around sustainability - putting people and the planet first.
In episode 172 of The Resilient Retail Game Plan, I speak to Emma and Leanne of Rose's Wardrobe. A vintage-inspired clothing and accessories brand based in Langholm, South Scotland, Rose's Wardrobe produces bespoke, made-to-order, made-to-measure garments using local, vintage or deadstock fabrics and planet-conscious trims and haberdashery.
In this podcast, we discuss creating an experience that’s about more than just picking something off a shelf, the joy of watching your employees and teams grow with your business and the importance of getting young people interested in traditional skills and industries. We also talk about the future of fashion trends, the beauty of being bespoke and working with your hands in a digital age.
