Clothing Connections: The Thread Together Story | #074

In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Anthony Chesler, CEO of Thread Together, an organisation that aims to drive social and environmental change by connecting excess retail clothing with people in need. Whether these people are impacted by floods, bushfires, domestic violence, homelessness, asylum seekers, leaving jail or even, COVID, Anthony and his team hope to restore some dignity through the power of clothing. In this chat, Anthony talks about the amazing retail partners they have on board including Surfstitch, The Iconic, PE Nation, Bec & Bridge, UnderArmour and Afterpay, how they manage fulfillment and why clothing is the forgotten basic human right.
