Repost: The tale of Prickly Thistle - With Clare Campbell (#132)

from Garmology - A podcast about clothes, and stuff. · host Nick Johannessen

Repost: This week I'm heading back to Scotland for a chat with Clare Campbell of Prickly Thistle, a self-proclaimed rebel mill outside Inverness. From a background as a chartered accountant, Clare took a u-turn, or maybe a swerve, when she discovered a passion for the traditional tartan and from there decided to establish a mill, using ancient looms, with no clue at all about how to use them. We get into what it means to run an ethical and transparent business, getting off social media, going zero waste, what B Corp status means and how being a rebel can mean doing this the opposite way of established business practices.You can find Prickly Thistle on the web at pricklythistle.shop.
