In episode 112, Kestrel welcomes Sarah Holley Gonzales, the owner + creator of neo•thread, to the show. An Albuquerque-based brand, neo•thread is dedicated to transforming discarded clothing into fresh, one-of-a-kind pieces.  "It was actually my Dad that taught me how to sew when I was little. And, even greater than how to work a machine, he taught me how to find beauty in the resources available - specifically, things that people would discard."  -Sarah Holley Gonzales, founder of neo•thread In this episode, Sarah shares more about what inspired her to build neo•thread, and how she took the leap from a "real job" to pursuing her dream job. Also, Sarah tells a powerful story about how her Dad taught her to sew + be resourceful as a child, and how that has influenced the way she values used things. While neo•thread's branding approach is that "cool girls care," it was surprising to learn that Sarah's shoppers aren't generally sustainably or ethically minded when they make their first purchase with her. For these shoppers, connecting with neo•thread has given them the opportunity to learn more about the realities of the fashion industry, and get educated about the issues. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: "Our culture is all about before + afters ... whether it's fitness or home decor ... whatever it is, we're all about before + afters, so people really attach to that and they love that." "People hear upcycling and they think old and tired, and I want to be the exact opposite of that. I want to be youth, fun, celebratory - it's gotta be new life - neo•thread is all about new life." "Just because something's cheap, does not mean you should buy it." "We don't understand that a lot of times when we buy cheap, we aren't being resourceful."

In episode 111, Kestrel welcomes Aditi Mayer, the creative behind ADIMAY, to the show. Aditi explores the crossroads of artistic expression and social action on ADIMAY, and has a focus on style, sustainability, and social politics. "I think the way we look at sustainable fashion now - it's been a response. So, sustainable fashion exists because the industry is inherently broken, and we could argue that fast fashion has profited off the normalization of exploitation. As we go forward, I think if we work toward a more just industry, that's inherently going to change the definition of sustainability too. It's tied with change, it's tied with being critical about how the industry currently stands - so, that's a reflection of who we are as individuals, but also where we stand in larger systems."  -Aditi Mayer, founder of ADIMAY  In this episode, Aditi shares a bit of her personal backstory, and how she became interested in photography as a form of escapism, and then fused it with her interests in style and sustainability. She shares a powerful experience from the first "sustainable fashion event" she attended, and how it revealed to her a lot of realities of race, class and privilege in the industry. "I definitely realized that fashion at large is really a microcosm of larger systems of inequality." Kestrel and Aditi explore three articles in particular, that are featured on ADIMAY, that speak to: ethics vs aesthetics, women of color's representation (and lack of) in sustainable fashion, and the rise of the activist tee.  The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Poverty Porn + the Western Savior Complex, explored more in Aditi's article, "Western Savior Complex In Artisan Led Fashion" "Making Sustainable Sexy Do We Market Aesthetics or Ethics?", article from ADIMAY Dominique Drakeford + Melanin & Sustainable Style, listen to our our show with Dominique here > "Women Of Color In Sustainable Fashion: Why The Stakes Are Higher", article from ADIMAY "The Movement, Commodified: The Rise Of (Pseudo) Activism", article from ADIMAY Sponsor: This Conscious Chatter episode is brought to you by GlobeIn.  **Use promo code CONSCIOUSCHATTER for 25% OFF your first Artisan Box with any Premium Artisan Box subscription.

In episode 84, Kestrel welcomes Danny Clayton, the founder of Salt Gypsy, to the show. A Byron Bay-based curated surf boutique and independent surf lifestyle supplier, Salt Gypsy celebrates female surf athleticism, diversity and style in the lineup. "If I as a small business can source and produce gear using a lycra that's made with 78% recycled polyamide, then why are not mainstream brands or bigger businesses using that as well; why is it not industry standard?" Throughout this conversation, Danny shares the backstory of how Salt Gypsy evolved into a brand that offers iconic surf leggings as well as surf gear for the discerning woman of the ocean. For Danny, she spends a lot of time in the water, so she wanted to create something that could protect her skin from the sun, but also help her look cool in the lineup. Additionally, Kestrel and Danny discuss the (un)sustainability of the traditional surf industry. From the foam and resin in the making of the boards to the surf wax, there’s a lot of petroleum that goes into an industry that is associated with spending quality time in the natural world. But, innovations are on the horizon, and Danny shares her thoughts on how she believes more sustainable surf product options are coming to the market. Tune in to hear more about the evolution of Salt Gypsy, Danny's open approach to discussing the struggles of being a small business, and the unknowns connected to the microfiber issue. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This week's Conscious Chatter episode is brought to you by GlobeIn.  GlobeIn delivers joy by empowering and connecting remarkable, remote artisans to mindful customers.

In episode 83, Kestrel welcomes Matt Scanlan, the CEO and cofounder of Naadam, to the show. Naadam is a fashion label that responsibly sources and produces luxury knitwear while preserving nomadic lifestyles in Mongolia. "It's all about an equitable agreement where they're [nomadic herders] getting something and we're getting something; we get better material, they get a level of economic sustainability that didn't exist before." In this chat, Matt shares the wild story of how he and his cofounder ended up finding themselves literally in the world of cashmere, through the friendships they made with nomadic herders in Mongolia. He also walks us through why the traditional cashmere industry had been rigged in the past. A couple of notes from the chat: Naadam doesn't have any contracts with the nomadic herders they work with; instead out in the countryside, as Matt explains, "what matters is the respect, the honor, the trust, the loyalty - that's how you build the relationships" Hand combing is a humane and traditional process; it is done on the under belly and under the chin of the goat, and has been done for thousands of years Shearing uses electric clippers and can tear up the goats' skin and can be very painful It takes the fiber from about 4 goats over the course of 1 year to make 1 sweater. How To Care For Your Cashmere Hand wash and lay flat to dry (Matt suggests the Laundress products because they are cleaner and work well) Pilling of cashmere in normal; for de-pilling, you can use a razor to cut them off ________________________________________________________ This week's episode is sponsored by GlobeIn.  GlobeIn delivers joy by empowering and connecting remarkable, remote artisans to mindful customers.
