In Episode 325, Kestrel welcomes Emily Fenves, the founder of lander line - a platform she created in September 2021 - after feeling burnt out with her own consumption habits. As a regular shopper, Emily found herself spending an exhaustive amount of time browsing, buying, returning, and purging. She embarked on a journey to learn more about the “why” behind her overconsumption, and decided to help others do the same.
“I think a lot of people assume that investment pieces mean luxury. For me, specifically, I always think about – can I pass this down to my daughter? Investment pieces can be secondhand, too. Whether I’m shopping new or secondhand, I’m always asking myself that question – is this something I can pass down to her?” -Emily
JANUARY THEME —
EXPLORING THE NUANCE AROUND *INVESTMENT PIECES*
This month, we’re going all in on – investment pieces. What does that really mean? Well, that’s one of the aspects we unpack. But if you google around and start diving into the discussion online, you’ll find a lot of people talking about things like: LONGEVITY, JUSTIFYING HIGHER TICKET ITEMS, HIGHER QUALITY, HIGHER COSTS, and EVERGREEN STYLES.
We touch on cost per wear, the idea of fewer better things, and recommendations when you’re searching for investment pieces.
It’s also personal – so remember to take that into account as you listen to this week’s guest. What you deem an investment piece may not necessarily be what someone else identifies as an investment piece – and to me, that’s some of the fun of it.
Speaking of this week’s guest – she self identifies as a former overconsumer-turned-fair-fashion-advocate who loves secondhand and influencing others to quit fast fashion.
