On the podcast today I interview Stephanie Devine - the incredible and inspirational founder of The Very Good Bra, which makes the world's first botanically, circular and fully compostable bras in the same size ranges as conventional bras.

 Despite having a long, successful, and well-paying corporate career, Stephanie decided to throw that all in to pursue an entrepreneurial dream that could change the world for the better. 

We dive into what sparked Stephanie’s passion for sustainability in the textile industry and why it’s an area that so desperately needs change. Much of the clothing being produced currently is damaging to the environment, produced with unethical labour practices, and puts harmful substances on our bodies. Stephanie dreams of a very different future, and this change comes about from pioneering entrepreneurs like her and consumers who use their money to back innovative products. 

Stephanie also talks about the challenges she faced while creating these products. Because she holds her products to a high standard, she’s had to find solutions to problems that typical textile producers don’t face. From sourcing the correct materials, finding the right manufacturers to communicating properly with consumers, she’s learned a lot of lessons that she now shares with us! 

If you've never really considered the origins of your clothing or where they go after they're no longer in use, this discussion will surely be an eye-opener for you. For those already passionate about sustainable fashion, you'll undoubtedly appreciate Stephanie's efforts in leading the way towards a more eco-friendly fashion future for everyone.
