Clotheshorse with Amanda Lee McCarty
Episode 7: TEN THOUSAND STRAW FEDORAS! (tales of excess inventory)
05 Aug 2020
Every year 15 billion garments head to the landfill pre-consumer. These are garments that either never made it to the store or were marked down aggressively and still did not sell. H+M made headlines by burning $4.3 billion worth of unsold clothing. How does this happen? Clotheshorse all-star guest Janine is back to unpack this with us. It’s an exciting story, filled with hubris, despair, and straw hats that are really made of paper, with a bad zipper thrown in as a twist. Also: another look at the #payup movement and how you can help!Email us with questions/corrections/episode suggestions at [email protected] find us on instagram @clotheshorsepodcast
