In this episode of Sustainability Champions (formerly Sustainability Matters Today), I interview Katherine Maunder, Founder of Threadtales and Champion of Ethical Fashion through Sustainable Practices.\n\nThreadtales is a luxury fashion brand that creates scarves, travel wraps and Kaftans using environmentally-sound fabrics.\n\n\n\nKatherine is passionate about handcrafted raw materials to create unique designs, so she chose to make many of Threadtales\u2019 pieces out of their signature Lotus flower fabric.\n\n\n\nThe Lotus flower grows naturally in lakes in Myanmar and benefits from harvesting, which helps the crop renew each season.\n\n\n\nThe clothes are then produced in Nepal using zero electricity, zero waste, and zero chemicals.\n\n\n\nThread Tales were recently awarded the Butterfly Mark by Positive Luxury for their company-wide commitment to strong environmental principles.\n\n\n\nPlease make sure to subscribe to the Sustainability Champions podcast to learn more about other sustainability champions like Katherine.\n\n\n\nI hope you enjoy the episode!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite: threadtalescompany.com\n\n\n\nFast Fashion: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_fashion\n\n\n\nRana Plaza Accident: ilo.org/global/topics/Rana Plaza\n\n\n\nCashmere wool: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashmere_wool\n\n\n\nThreadtales video: threadtalescompany.com/pages/story\n\n\n\nInstagram: instagram.com/threadtalesco\n\n\n\nTwitter: twitter.com/ThreadTalesCo\n\n\n\nFacebook: facebook.com/ThreadTalesCo\n\n\n\nSeedrs Campaign: seedrs.com/threadtales\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou may find the transcript here: sustainabilitym.at/ThreadTales\n\n\n\nWatch the full episode: https://youtu.be/Wesl-yGLsA4\n\n\n\n--\n\nHosted by Daniel Hartz\n\nSustainability Champions\n\nhttps://www.sustainabilitychampions.com\n\nInstagram: @SustainabilityChampions\n\nFacebook: @SustainabilityChampions\n\nLinkedIn: @Sustainability Champions
