The Episode At A Glance:
Have you ever wondered what it means to create a circular brand? I certainly did, so I decided to find a brand that’s doing the work and who's willing to share the process and journey of creating an entirely circular brand.
Enter; One Essentials.
Launched by Carrie Davies, who studied at London College of Fashion under Professor Dilys Williams, the founder and Director of the Centre for Sustainable Fashion, ONE Essentials creates inclusive, stylish, all-day t-shirts, sweatshirts and underwear designed to radically reinvent the everyday wardrobe.
Following a career working for the likes of Barbour and Monsoon, Carrie felt trapped and unable to make real, positive progress towards ethical fashion.
ONE Essentials was born, focusing on creating beautiful, high-quality pieces – and starting with the most disposable item in our wardrobe; underwear. It also provides a full, transparent update on product impact throughout each stage of the customer journey.
"I didn't just want to create another brand just for having a brand. I wanted to create a brand that could stand on its own and really make a difference and prove that there are solutions out there that could fit into a commercial model for better products for our planet, as well as being desirable."
- Carrie Davies | Quoted from the interview
