It's part two (of three) of our conversation with sustainable designer Selina Sanders: even more crazy stories from the world of fashion. Also: an introduction to Fair Trade.

Show Notes

It's part two (of three) of our conversation with sustainable designer Selina Sanders.  She shares her stories of being embedded in Chinese factories, the pettiness/ugliness of the fashion industry, and the saga of the $5 beaded sandals continues!

Also, Amanda answers listener Elena's questions about Fair Trade.  Just like everything else we discuss around here, Fair Trade is both opaque and complicated.
