Episode 2: Tiny Satin Ribbon Bows, or Somehow We Talked About Walmart Twice

It's the thrilling sequel to episode 1!  Janine is back to discuss margin--it's a really big deal in the world of making and buying stuff.  We will also talk about why sustainable/ethical clothing *should* be more expensive...and then the less exciting reasons that it actually is.  And we are going to read some listener comments about the cheap trims and embellishments that drive them crazy! We are also going to dig in to the dollars and cents behind a pair of Nike sneakers.  And to tell that story, we have to share Jim Keady's journey from soccer coach to apparel worker advocate.  You can learn more about his battle against Nike here: https://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=1630&page=0 and here: https://www.villagevoice.com/2000/10/03/standing-up-to-the-swoosh/Follow us on instagram @clotheshorsepodcast.Drop us a line with episode suggestions, things we got wrong, or other thoughts you're having about shopping and fashion at [email protected]
