The other day I was driving, listening to episode 240 of the Wardrobe Crisis podcast (one of my favourite sustainable fashion deep dives). In this episode Clare Press was interviewing Rachel and Jesse from Kooshoo a sustainable hair accessory brand based on Norfolk Island in the South Pacific. At one point, Jesse said something that completely made me pull over and double-check it: “we
