In episode 128, Kestrel welcomes Morgan Hamel, the founder of The Garment, to the show. A platform that helps connect women and responsible brands, The Garment is known for their Virtual Pop-Ups, which showcase quality products from makers who also have a good story.
"I realized that there
was an entire community of makers out in the world who basically
were trying to connect to a community of women who are interested
in living more vibrant lives by owning fewer, better things, and
sometimes those communities struggle to find each other. Basically,
The Garment stepped into the middle."
-Morgan Hamel, Founder of The Garment
