Description
My guest today represents tradition, resilience and doing what you do well. Hillary Bacon is the marketing director of Cordings of Piccadilly, a clothing establishment that has been basically unchanged since 1839, although the world around has changed fundamentally. We talk about how Cordings started and those important first products, how society has evolved, appreciating that some things don't have to change, being able to replace your old with the same new, how Eric Clapton saw the window display and bought half the shop and keeping traditions alive.You can find Cordings of Piccadilly on the web here, and on Instagram as @cordingsofpiccadillyGarmology is researched, booked, hosted, edited, published, paid for and everything else by Nick Johannessen.

The real environmental impact of clothes - with Professor Ingun Grimstad Klepp: Much is said about the environmental impact and sustainability of our clothes. Which fibres are good, which are not so good. Should we upcycle, recycle, downcycle, send to landfill or wear them threadbare? What role do chemicals play, and are they all good? In this episode, I talk with Norwegian Research Professor Ingun Grimstad Klepp at Oslo Metropolitan University. Ingun researches sustainable textiles, clothing, laundry and leisure consumption and has written numerous articles and books of these themes. The answers to the questions above are both startling and uncomfortable! by Garmology - A podcast about clothes, and stuff.
