Yvonne and his team started to focus less on growing and more on just lasting as a company. Instead of telling customers to buy their stuff, Patagonia kind of told them not to. In fact, we now have the largest garment repair center in North America. We'll repair every single piece of Patagonia no matter how old it is indefinitely.
