Welcome to Sustain This! A slow fashion podcast that's about so much more than clothes.
Join us every Tuesday as your hosts Alyssa, Christina and Signe chat all things mindful consumption, personal style and the quest for building a more intentional life...and wardrobe!
Alyssa Beltempo is a sustainable stylist, Christina Mychas, a shopaholic turned minimalist-ish, and Signe Hansen is a colour consultant and slow fashion style coach. Together we will unpack the nuances of what it really means be a conscious consumer & find more joy in what we have right now. Let's go!
