Episode 58: The Mending-sodes (part 1) with Old Flame Mending

Episode 58: The Mending-sodes (part 1) with Old Flame Mending

This is episode 58...our first episode of Consumption Month (which other people like to call March)! It's also the first episode in our three part conversation with Tia and Rebecca of Old Flame Mending. We will be talking about the difference between mending and tailoring, how Tia and Rebecca started a mending business, and the challenges and joys of running a business with your best friend! This is a perfect way to launch Consumption Month because one key component of reducing our consumption of new stuff is...making our stuff last by caring for it and mending it!

Also in this episode: Meredith calls into update us on how the ban on cotton from Xinjiang is affecting the garment industry. Hannah wants to talk about brand new fast fashion disguised as vintage on secondhand platforms. Kate reminds us that we need a "bill of rights" for sustainable/ethical fashion. And Meg, the content producer of Clotheshorse.world drops by to encourage you all to contribute!

Don't forget about your new hot Friday night date: our weekly IG Live Q+A session at 8 pm Eastern Time. Will Brenda attack Amanda again? How puffy will Amanda's sleeves be? There's only one way to find out...find us on instagram @clotheshorsepodcast.
