37:  Tonlé

Cultivating intimate conversations with entrepreneurs, reflecting on the heartbeat of their organization.

We’re excited to be partnering with R.I.S.E Artisan Fund – an impact investment portfolio that invests in early-stage artisan enterprises, creating sustainable livelihoods for rural communities with few economic alternatives. To learn more about the R.I.S.E Artisan Fund, click here. 

In this episode we are joined by Rachel Faller, founder of  Tonlé, a zero waste sustainable fashion brand. It is a maker-led community that values inclusivity, honesty and reciprocity, and creates a purposeful future for fashion: one that is restorative, regenerative and just. We’ll hear about Rachel’s journey that led to the creation of a sustainable fashion brand; how she cultivates impact; the importance of challenging existing models of investment in social enterprises; and how she’d like Tonlé  to be remembered.
