Maggie Marilyn | Founder, Maggie Marilyn | Courage over comfort

The Brand is Female

Courage >> comfort. This week, Maggie Hewitt joins host Eva Hartling to talk about finding purpose and doing good. Maggie is the founder of sustainable and circular fashion brand Maggie Marilyn. Having grown up on the New Zealand coast, Maggie has always had an interest in protecting our natural world. When she set out to create her own fashion line, she knew she wanted to build a company rooted in principles of circularity. For Maggie, circularity is not just a buzzword— she takes this concept the whole way, from recyclable clothing to repair services for the brand's items. Her company champions transparency and change in an industry whose harmful practices have been destroying our planet for decades. Maggie has even gone so far as to make the tough decision to forego agreements with wholesalers in favour of selling direct to consumers, in order to ensure every aspect of her supply chain would have as low an impact as possible. As a result, Maggie Marilyn has met both commercial and editorial success. Listen to this episode to find out what inspires and drives Maggie as a citizen and a business owner!
