I found Jacaranda Hemp Apparel through a podcast guest newsletter and thought that by satisfying some curiosity we can learn more about an available sustainable fabric with so many great qualities! I got my 'I grew up under a rock' questions out of the way before recording to spare you, but there's still plenty to learn.
There are so many things about Jacaranda that impress me, like their entrepreneurial spirit, and their scrappiness, but I absolutely love that these guys (there are 4 - we're meeting Billy and Harrison, but there's also Milo and Henry) have been friends since childhood, and they work so well together! And they have a network of entrepreneurs that they work with to keep their products hyper-local, in case there's anything they're not able to work out on their own. Because of this network, they are a full service business, offering everything in one place, instead of importing and shipping.
We talk about why hemp is the future of apparel, and why sustainable merch isn't just good for a business, it's good for the planet by not stealing from tomorrow. Jacaranda donates 3% of their profit to The Tree People.
I am so impressed by the sheer number of one-liners these guys can come up with on the spot- but also their extensive education and entrepreneurship. The story of their start is fun and also inspiring, but I'll let you hear it from them.
