From the Vault | Brandy Melville: Cute, Cult-y, Kinda Problematic

In an episode pulled from the vault and one of the first ever recorded shows, Jessica and Heather discuss the questionable ethics of the fast fashion brand, Brandy Melville.

In this episode, we dig into how Brandy Melville became the uniform of “cool girls” everywhere, and why that’s… complicated. From one-size-fits-all policies to leaked internal drama, we’re unpacking the pretty package with the not-so-pretty core. Is Brandy just a brand—or a blueprint for exclusion? Let’s talk about it.
