Pre-Loved Podcast: Patagonia Worn Wear
Alright,\\xa0 let\\u2019s talk about today\\u2019s guest.\\xa0 Today we\\u2019re speaking with Alex Kremer, head of Patagonia\\u2019s secondhand arm, Worn Wear. Worn Wear products are better than new! Their goal is to keep Patagonia gear in use longer with mending and repairs, and reduce your need to buy more over time. You can also buy used and vintage Patagonia through Worn Wear. Alex launched Patagonia\\u2019s secondhand business, opened Patagonia\\u2019s first store dedicated to selling exclusively secondhand items, and created Patagonia\\u2019s first upcycled product line called ReCrafted, made from post-consumer waste.\\xa0\\xa0
We talked Worn Wear\\u2019s mission, mending -- the hundreds of thousands of repairs they\\u2019ve done in stores and on tour! -- cool stories behind well loved Patagonia, as well as practical tips extending the life of your pieces. All that and more! Let\\u2019s dive right in!
