Selling a vision for sustainable fashion, with Aurora James of Brother Vellies

Thanks to our friends over at TUMI, we’re able to bring you a special, bonus episode of the podcast, recorded live in front of an audience at the Girlboss Rally in L.A.! On this episode of Girlboss Radio, Aurora walks us through how she founded Brother Vellies with just $3,500 dollars in her pocket. The goal, she says, was to introduce traditional African shoes to the rest of the world while adhering to ethical and sustainable fashion practices. Plus, she shares how she maintains a healthy relationship with social media and her thoughts on why brick-and-mortar stores still have a role to play in retail. And—least but not least—some news! Aurora is joining the Girlboss Radio Network as the host for the new season of In Progress, the podcast. We launched In Progress last year with our partners at TUMI and we are so stoked that they’ve decided to help us bring you another season. Tune in to hear what's in store for the new season. Don't forget to subscribe to In Progress, wherever you get your podcasts! New episodes start August 22. http://playpodca.st/inprogress To find out more about how Tumi is perfecting the journey, go to https://www.tumi.com/To keep up with Aurora James, our host for Season 2 of In Progress, follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aurorajames/To shop Brother Vellies, go to https://brothervellies.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
