My guest today has a wealth of knowledge of all things fabric. Carroll Dunham has traveled the world with National Geographic, and selected a very unique collection of threads that support indigenous tribes . But more than that, she has made it part of her mission to bring awareness to the importance of micro ecosystems, and how it takes generations of craftsmanship along with a very local environment to create legacy fabrics. It is the difference between a micro economy and a global economy, and it’s quite fascinating.
She cofounded Around The World in 80 Fabrics as a way to preserve and tell the story of sustainable fabrics, and create fertile ground for the cross pollination of ancient sustainable practices in the making of fabric.
