What do ripped knees, fast fashion, and circular economies have in common? They all show up in this week’s conversation with Marianna Sachse, founder and CEO of Jackalo, a kidswear brand built on durability, sustainability, and serious style.
A former public health advocate, Marianna shares how she went from policy to play clothes—designing pants that can survive playgrounds and growth spurts. We talk about building a brand from scratch, the challenges of circular fashion, why her trade-in model wins customer loyalty, and how you can now invest in Jackalo through WeFunder.
👖 Tough clothes. Smart model. Real impact.
