TV's Patrick Grant from The British Sewing Bee on his plastic-free brand, Community Clothing
Manage episode 432980408 series 2667017
Yikes everybody, so I've somehow managed to book an actual TV celeb for today's live chat at 2pm - it's Patrick Grant, award-winning designer and one of the judges from The Great British Sewing Bee! He has a sustainable, plastic-free clothing company called Community Clothing, all made at a factory in Blackburn with local workers, models and photographers. They have a small range of sportswear ideal for summer running - namely t-shirts, vests, shorts and hoodies. They aren't highly technical garments like SOAR, but they are much lower in price! Like £35 for a t-shirt, normal prices. So this is going to be a super interesting chat.
