Cassandra was backpacking through Southeast Asia, taking a trip to Bali, and exploring the country when she stumbled upon a man forming beautiful artisan pieces from tire rubber.  She ended up spending some time with him in his shop seeing how he crafted his work, his energy, and how he personally interacted with each customer that came into his shop.  It was this experience that got Cassandra thinking about where the fashion items she bought came from.

With her entrepreneurial spirit, she set out to find how she could connect consumers with such beautiful products that supported local artisans.  From that Chic Made Consciously was born.  Cassandra now connects artisans from all over with the online space.  From showcasing these works of art at trade shows to her online store, she is determined to bring light to where products come from and support hand-made sustainable products from around the world. 

 

Topics Discussed:

• What is fast fashion?
• How fashion and sustainable products can be blended together.
• Happiness is not tied up in things.
• How do you as a consumer know what businesses you should support?
• Why it’s cheaper to buy more expensive quality items.
