What's This Place? Behind the Clicks and Mortar with Miranda Black

By: Miranda Black
  • Summary

  • I’m Miranda Black, the DeGrowth Diva. In this podcast I talk about my real life Degrowth journey with retailers, businesses and fashion influencers. How do we reduce our carbon footprint in retail? What alternatives are there...what are some easy solutions we can realistically apply to our lives without sacrificing style?Turns out, there are tons of lower carbon choices right here in Canada. Shopping is hard. Acquiring and ethically disposing all our STUFF has never been so complex and fraught with issues from sustainable fashion to garment worker justice to shopping local to zero waste! Who best to get advice about shopping than a former retailer. What's This Place? goes behind the Clicks and Mortar of small businesses at the forefront of the DeGrowth movement to discuss shopping, retailing, caring for and rehoming all your inventory. What’s This Place? Let’s go inside and find out.

  • Day 2 No New Clothes
    Aug 28 2023

    Ever thought about the journey your favouritest piece of clothing?
    Hold onto your needles and threads, because we're about to explore the world of mending and repairing!
    Try to spot my very first invisible mending job on a damaged cashmere sweater, and join me as I journey into the realm of visible mending with Elysha from Worth Mending. We dive into the benefits of mending services in retail stores and how it could be a game changer in the fashion industry.

    But this is not just about stitching up worn-out clothes; it's a call to arms against exploitative practices in the fashion industry. We expose the harsh reality behind a luxury brand (Who could it be?!).
    Hopefully my mending journey inspires you to take up the needle and thread not just to breathe new life into your clothes, but as a subversive act against fashions unethical practices. So, join me, Miranda Black, on this second day of Remake's #nonewclothes mini challenge!
    Stitch by stitch, we'll transform how you perceive your clothes and the industry that creates them.
