S2 Ep 2: Slow Fashion & Sustainability with Cucumber Clothing

Welcome to series 2 of the Small Business Britain podcast! This series we will be covering topics to help, inspire and support small businesses with a host of inspirational people. For this 2nd episode we are joined by the inspiring founders of Cucumber Clothing, Eileen Willett and Nancy Zeffman. Eileen and Nancy share their business story and how ethics and sustainability have always been at the top of their list for their brand and offer their insight into how all business owners can ensure they are as sustainable and ethical as possible. And - refreshingly - share how they are constantly learning and evolving in this world, and how they started Cucumber to be the desired alternative to 'fast fashion' - creating pieces that can be worn for years all from natural fibres and made in the UK.  We chatted about the power of relationships and how, during the challenging months, their supplier and customer relationships have been so special as well as discussing the ins and outs of what sustainability actually means. It was a fascinating chat - hope you enjoy! Please check out Cucumber Clothing here. Small Business Britain: here to champion, inspire and accelerate small business.
