From The Streets To The Catwalk: The HoMie Story | #156

In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Nick Pearce, the CEO and Co-Founder of HoMie - a social enterprise that aims to break down the stigma associated with homelessness and those experiencing it rough on the streets. They do this through their ultra cool fashion label, HoMie, their upcycled ReBorn range and their Pathway Alliance Program that helps disadvantaged youth kick start their retail career.  In this episode we go on a journey with Nick on how he went from studying Journalism and being a Manny (yes, a real life Manny) to creating a business with purpose that is today known as HoMie. We also dive into the unique size guides that HoMie uses, the tools they use for online accessibility and why saying no to opportunities has opened up better doors than saying yes. Links from the episode:HoMieRebornDisneyUserwayLaunch HousingChampionGeneral PantsBondsNikeToms Shopify Plus and Rollie Nation (sponsored)Signet and Free to Feed (sponsored)Questions answered:How does the HoMie trainee program work?How do you approach the process of partnering with brands?How can retailers create opportunities for young people?Thanks to our sponsors, Shopify and Klaviyo, for bringing you the show.Sponsor Add To Cart: https://addtocart.com.au/sponsor/ Hosted on Acast.
