A sustainable Christmas, Nuw, MERRI and Rhiannon's middle sister.... Lowri Collins.  

Having studied Nature, Society and Environmental Governance at the University of Oxford as her Masters, Lowri knows her stuff when it comes to this area.  

This podcast is all about innovation and this week Lowri & Rhiannon discuss the HOT topics in the world of CLOTHING, with an interview NOT TO BE MISSED with Ella Merriman, founder of Merri! 

What is in store:

  •  30-second challenge: top tips for a sustainable Christmas 
  • Nuw - a sustainable clothes sharing app where you pay for a monthly membership and can Borrow, Lend & Swap clothes, this social network clothes exchange is the future of sustainable fashion - making fashion unlimited, sustainable and affordable. 
  • MERRI - the knicker business that is changing the world of pants. Founder Ella was dissatisfied with having to choose between comfort and nice design when it came to knickers, so sought to create a product that has both - knickers that are beautiful and actually designed for our bodies! 
  • An inspirational quote from Lowri's homemade quote book
