Deborah Bee is the founder of Bee and Sons, a small batch knitwear brand from Somerset, focused on using only natural fibres.

Deborah talks to Raakhee about the corrupted use of the word sustainable and details the process of recycling woolen fibres. She shares her shocking visit to a sweat shop in Nicaragua, discussing what exploitation of labour looks like and the sinister impact of fast fashion. With a dream to re-shore manufacturing back to the UK, they also talk about brands taking responsibility for the true cost of their products and waste.
