Welcome back to the Where Does It Come From? podcast after our summer break. In this special episode, we're diving into an exciting project that brings together five passionate individuals to create something truly unique – Sanja Stories, a regenerative jeans brand.
Over the past year, as part of the Ecosystem Incubator, we've poured our time, energy, expertise, and creativity into crafting Sanja Stories' regenerative denim jeans. These aren't just any jeans; they're designed to transcend size, age, and gender, with adjustability at their core. No harmful chemicals, dyes, or prints here – just raw, organic cotton grown from indigenous seeds.
But here's where it gets really interesting. When you join our community and embrace the stories behind your jeans, you get to personalize them. We're talking natural dye workshops, print workshops, and patches – all to help you create a unique, personalized narrative with your jeans. These stories grow with each wearer, evolving and adapting as they're passed on, again and again, until one day, the jeans naturally return to the earth, leaving no harm to the soil or air.
In this podcast episode, you'll hear from the core Sanja Stories co-creation team, including:
- Jo Salter – Your podcast host, Founder/CEO of Where Does It Come From?, and Director of Khadi London.
- Rachel Sheila Kan – Founder of the Ecosystem Incubator, Circular Earth, and a Writer and Teacher.
- Kishore Shah – Founder of Khadi London, Social Change Activist, Writer, and Consultant.
- Abhishek Jain – Founder of Mishika Crafts, a textiles social enterprise in Jaipur, India, and a member of the Khadi London team.
- Claudia Coveyduck – A Garment technologist with two decades of experience in the industry and founder of the Sample Studio.
Special thanks go out to Jo Burston for her original 3D rendering of the Sanja Stories jeans and to Fonny Bunjamin for helping us envision the exciting 3D possibilities that will support Sanja Stories users in their customization journey.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
