Description

Clotheshorse all-star Salisha is back to talk to us about kids' clothes! You might remember her from our episodes about off-price stores and that food at TJ Maxx.  In this half of our conversation, we’ll be talking about the differences between making kids clothes and adult clothes (because Salisha has done both), and how the pricing just doesn’t add up.  We’ll also address a letter that Elise sent me a looooooong time ago about sexist children's clothing.  Also:  we'll get to know Samie of Dylan Paige.  She will tell us about how her years working for several iconic retailers motivated her to start her own sustainable boutique!  She'll also share some of her favorite sustainable brands and her vision for the future of her business!  Check out her two favorite brands, Tonlé and Dazey LA.  You can find both of these brands in her boutique.  And Rita (aka Panty Witch) calls the hotline to tell us how she started making underwear out of upcycled materials.Want to support Clotheshorse *and* receive exclusive episodes, a weekly newsletter, and some swag?
