The Good Dirt: Sustainability Explained 88. Conscious Consumerism and Ethical Business with Rose and Doug Phillips of Conscious Clothing
Challenge yourself to think a little deeper about what you buy with Rose and Doug Phillips of Conscious Clothing as they talk slow fashion, conscious consumption, staying authentic as business owners, and the “hearts and minds campaign,” encouraging consumers to delve into the impact of their purchasing power. Founded in Michigan in 2006, Conscious Clothing designs and creates beautiful, sustainable, and ethically sourced staple garments to complement a capsule wardrobe - all sewn in the USA.
Rose and Doug are not just passionate about sustainable clothing, but also cultivate opportunities for sustainable living through their business, creating systems that allow sewers to work on their own schedules at home and seeking authentic collaborations and relationships with like-minded companies. For them, the good dirt is all about those relationships: with others, with our purchases, and with the earth.
