Clothing Connections: How Excess Stock Can Build Communities | #074

In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Anthony Chesler, CEO of Thread Together, an organisation that aims to drive social and environmental change by connecting excess retail clothing with people in need. Whether these people are impacted by floods, bushfires, domestic violence, homelessness, asylum seekers, leaving jail or even, COVID, Anthony and his team hope to restore some dignity through the power of clothing. In this chat, Anthony talks about the amazing retail partners they have on board including Surfstitch, The Iconic, PE Nation, Bec & Bridge, UnderArmour and Afterpay, how they manage fulfillment and why clothing is the forgotten basic human right.Links from the episode:Thread TogetherThe Goodman FoundationHubspoti=Change Shopify Plus and Aje (sponsored)Signet and Free to Feed (sponsored)Questions answered:How much waste is there in the fashion industry?Who can benefit from a Thread Together wardrobe and what is the impact on that person’s life?What key things do you need from brands who want to get involved?This episode was brought to you by…  Shopify PlusSignetAbout your host: Nathan Bush from 12HIGHNathan Bush is the founder and lead strategist at eCommerce consultancy, 12HIGH.
