Ethel Studio is a company on a mission to eliminate textile waste. I connected with Maggie, the founder of Ethel Studio, to learn more about the company. In the interview, learn more about Ethel Studio, why textile waste is something we all should focus on and how to support a more sustainable industry. How to support a more sustainable textile industry: Follow Ethel Studio and other companies that utilize rescued textiles in their products. Look up the Sustainable Apparel Coalition and learn more about the entities working to reduce the environmental and social impacts of textile products. Learn more about textiles and the textile industry through Textile Exchange. Read Overdressed about the fast fashion industry and look for other books about ethical and sustainable fashion. Develop an awareness and curiosity for the clothes you currently have and the clothes you buy in the future. Look at the labels and see what they’re made from, start to discover what those materials are and what they mean for the environment, figure out who made the clothes and how transparent the company is, etc. Fashion Revolution is a great resource to learn more about the fashion industry. Buy clothes from thrift stores. Research brands that follow better practices for their workers and for the environment. Support sustainable wellness products. If you need a meditation cushion, get an Ethel Studi meditation cushion. Shop locally. Find sustainable brands. For some ideas to get you started, read this article, this article and this article. I mentioned Krochet Kids in the podcast, so look them up too. Read this article on 9 ways to reduce textile waste from Ethel Studio.

We’ve got recommendations on travel, books, candles, and skincare stuff, as an assortment of unique gifts for the younger set. FOR MEN Travel The ABLE Alem leather passport holder is a great gift for anyone who travels a lot, and it’s made by artisans in Ethiopia who are earning a fair wage.

It’s canvas with leather straps and a simple, masculine vibe.

A Home Movie Projector is a fun gift to turn your living room into a big-screen movie room, and for only $62 it’s a lot of wow factor for not a lot of money. For anyone who has multiple tech devices this Eco Bamboo Charging Station is a great way to charge multiple devices at once without cords getting tangled, and the bamboo gives it a softer look so your charging station isn’t an eyesore. The Amazon Echo is a great gift for anyone. It can play your morning news, operate your Sonos speakers, keep your shopping list up to date – both of us have these in every room. For the person who is constantly losing their keys . . . the Tile Mate Key Finder is a practical and thoughtful gift, especially for dads.   Clothing Patagonia has great jackets and puffers and we love their environmental impact: with the 10 million tax credit it received from the Trump administration, they donated all of it to non-profit environmental groups!

Beauty/Self-Care Kosas is one of Sarah’s favorite green beauty brands and their Weightless Lip Color Trio is made from moisturizing ingredients like mango seed butter and jojoba oil.

If you are wanting to change up your skincare to something clean and luxurious this is a perfect introduction. It comes with a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, body serum, and argan oil. A jade roller is a great item for encouraging the relaxing self-care routine of facial rolling. It feels luxurious but Amazon’s $16 real jade version, which includes a gua sha scraping tool, doesn’t break the bank.   Personalized A Personalized Address Stamp is a great, practical gift for just about anyone. Amazon has cute fonts and designs for around $30.

In episode 131, Kestrel welcomes Kohl Crecelius, a social entrepreneur, and the founder and owner of two social impact apparel brands, the the show. With a focus on helping shoppers know and connect with the makers behind their clothing, KNOWN SUPPLY and Krochet Kids intl. are pushing to humanize the fashion industry. "I remember in probably our first couple years, all we ever heard (because we were starting around the same time that Tom's was really starting to take off), all we ever heard was - what is the tagline that's like one-for-one? And we thought about it and we came up with all these iterations and then, eventually we kind of just said - you know what, there's so much more to who we are and what we're trying to accomplish than a simple little quip." - Kohl Crecelius, Founder of Known Supply + Krochet Kids In this episode, Kohl shares more on the origins of Krochet Kid intl., and how it evolved out of a company he and his friends started in high school after his brother taught him how to crochet. Additionally, throughout the show, Kestrel + Kohl talk about different tactics for storytelling as a socially conscious brand. Kohl sheds light on the idea that maybe you don't need to have a tiny tagline for your brand - maybe you don't need to sum up your entire brand in a mini statement.  For Kohl, he and Known Supply are inspired by Patagonia's approach, which has led them to take more of a longterm approach to storytelling. They believe in putting in the work to develop the story, while educating their shoppers and sharing more in-depth information with them over time. Kohl also shares some of his thoughts on how much potential there is out there to partner with larger brands. He outlines that too often, younger or smaller brands sell themselves short and don't present or embrace the big value (knowledge of sustainability, ethics, or supply chains) that they can actually provide to bigger brands. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: “Why this clothing startup wants you to know thy T-shirt maker”, article discussed that Kohl was featured in on Fast Company “My theory was that if we could understand the people behind our product, we would think about purchasing differently,” Crecelius says. “That we would realize that our story is bound up in the story of others.” -via Fast Company article Global Citizen Festival, a festival based in New York that Kohl and his team collaborated with in the past to create garments for them The Giving Keys, brand that Known Supply recently partnered with "What we feel like is going to change the industry is collaboration and connection."  "Initially, I had stepped into so many of those experiences thinking that I had a clear path or a clear way to help people - that I was going to come and help people that were less fortunate than I, who didn't have the same opportunities. And I - in that - sort of had these preconceived notions of who people were and what brought them to the circumstances they were in, and how I was going to come save and change and help those. And - what I came face to face with - when I initially started traveling was people. It wasn't statistics, it wasn't the image that I had seen growing up about poverty. It was people full of life and joy and laughter, and I found that there was so much that we could connect over and we shared far more similar than we did different." EVENT ALERT The Mindful Materials Summit, hosted by Textile Arts LA, is taking place on September 15th-16th at the Helms Design Center in Los Angeles. Kestrel will be moderating a panel focused on Material Accessibility on the 15th. If you are interested in attending, you can purchase tickets at the link here.

In episode 115, Kestrel welcomes Tomide Awe, the founder of Olori, to the show. A handbag line that incorporates traditional African textiles into modern designs, Olori was built with an intention to help women become actively involved in solving women-interest issues, especially with regard to education.  "It's not about just donating money - we are not a charity organization, this is not a charitable affair for us. We are on a mission to build this network of future empowered women, and we wanted to ensure that the girls feel the full effect of every dollar that we spend."  -Tomide Awe, Founder of Olori   In this episode, Tomide shares more about her journey, and how growing up in Nigeria helped her realize the impact an education can have on women's lives. According to UNESCO, a girl in Nigeria has a 73% chance of not going to school. For Tomide, her mom helped to ensure she was able to get an education, and now she has multiple degrees. She wants to pay that forward to help give other young girls the opportunity to learn, grow and build their own future. With each Olori bag purchased, a girl receives one month of education, in coordination with Olori's giving partner Bridge International Academies. One powerful element of Tomide's company is she's not just a charity and/or a business with a giving model. Instead, she has built a supply chain that supports women throughout the backstory of her products as well. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Wharton, university where Tomide studied and received her Master's degree "Nigeria is a country where a girl has a 73% chance of not going to school at all, according to UNESCO" "About 9.5 million girls will never step foot in a school, compared to about 5 million boys [in Africa]." "UNICEF says that mothers that have had some education are more than twice as likely to send their own children to school." Bridge International Academies, Olori's nonprofit giving partner Olori actually means "queen" in Tomide's language - the Yuruba language of Nigeria Aso-oke: textiles used to make Olori's bags "We strongly believe that when women support women, incredible things happen."

In episode 113, Kestrel welcomes Lawrence Lenihan, the CEO of Resonance, to the show. A venture operating company, Resonance partners with brands to enable them to build a fashion business that is as beautiful as their creative vision. "WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE RETHINKING. THIS WHOLE INDUSTRY WAS BUILT ON THE IDEA THAT YOU MAKE MANY - LOTS AND LOTS - BIG RUNS ... WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE. RATHER THAN HAVING FEWER STYLES OVER MORE AND MORE UNITS, OUR WHOLE ARCHITECTURE IS: HOW DO WE MAKE ONE UNIT AS EFFICIENTLY AS A THOUSAND?"  -LAWRENCE LENIHAN, FOUNDER OF RESONANCE  In this episode, Kestrel asks Lawrence to talk more about how Resonance intends to fuse the worlds of art and commerce, when so often they tend to resist each other. For Resonance, it's about bringing business and art together, but allowing art to be the driving force. Lawrence shares more about how fast Resonance can move their brand partners' designs from inception to customer doorstep - in less than nine days. Kestrel and Lawrence explore whether this new infrastructure Resonance is building is "speeding things up" or just shifting the model to allow the designer to have more control. Additionally, Kestrel asks Lawrence to elaborate more on this idea that "creation is discontinuity," which is a foundational element of Resonance's approach.  The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Resonance's Art vs Commerce Video "We have sold 20,000 units with 2,000 different styles."  "The interesting thing about fashion is that it is the thing that is touching you physically, and it represents where you are, where you think you stand, where you belong. And, that expression of "where I belong" is a current expression of conditions in the environment in which I live, and that's why i think this is a really, really critical thing." Plausible deniability: "the ability of people (typically senior officials in a formal or informal chain of command) to deny knowledge of or responsibility for any damnable actions committed by others in an organizational hierarchy because of a lack of evidence that can confirm their participation, even if they were personally involved in or at least willfully ignorant of the actions" GIVEAWAY ALERT Conscious Chatter has partnered with IndieGetup for a Conscious Closet Giveaway!
