Sustainably In Love22: Kids Made to Order Footwear w/Ulrik SchultzIn this episode, we will be talking about Made to Order footwear - particularly kids footwear - with the co-founder and mastermind behind Pyk Copenhagen Ulrik Schultz.
It’s no detail the fact that Ulrik is doing this for kids. There is certain magic behind a made-to-order brand for kids because we always tell the generation to come is the one that can change the world. And maybe - just maybe - when kids are living and being educated under good and sustainable practices, hope for change gets renewed.

Sustainably In Love21: Fashion Corporations w/Samantha JonesSafe to say that when we think about sustainable brands the corporates like Primark, Zara or C&A are not at the top of our list. Moreover, we tend to instinctively put all in the exact same bag just based on their mass volumes and turnover.
How different are they? And where do they intercept? In this episode, we had the most amazing opportunity to talk with Primark and C&A former International Design Director Samantha Jones that gives us an inside view throughout the history of these massive corporations.

Sustainably In Love18: Circular footwear w/ Chris MargettsIn a moment where sustainability took the reigns of fashion content and storytelling, there’s a real greenwash danger associated - among multiple other factors - with the taking over of the biggest corporations applying the same sustainable messaging as the independent labels that had this approach as a distinctive factor. And even considering that parts of the chain become more sustainable, a lot - or even all - falls on the business models practiced.
To tackle the threat, smaller sustainable brands are always looking ahead and some are taking things to the next level: circularity. The ea...2021-02-0330 min
