In this episode of Customer Growth Sessions, Brianna Raich, founder of Banda Bags, discusses building a socially conscious, slow-fashion business that empowers women artisans in Indonesia.
She shares her compelling founding story, which began after a quarter-life crisis, and the unique experience of starting a business in a remote, rural area outside the U.S.. Brianna highlights the powerful difference between the ethical slow fashion model and the exploitative fast fashion industry, noting its impact on workers and the environment. The conversation concludes with how the Indonesian emphasis on work-life balance taught her a beautiful lesson in slowing down and working ethically.
