218 – Recycling Old Clothing into Brand New Luxury Products, Graham Holbrook
In this episode, I'm chatting with Graham Holbrook from Turtle Doves, a company that recycles cashmere jumpers into brand new products, including their signature fingerless gloves, which sell over 200,000 pairs a year.
Graham talks about how Turtle Doves manage teams of outworkers in the UK to make their products. And we also discuss an exciting new project that Turtle Doves are working on, which is reviving the lost manufacturing process of shoddying. If you don't know what shoddy is you will have to listen to find out!
