Episode 2 - Marre Muijs, founder of ESSEN | Sustainable classic shoes with an edge + on-demand manufacturing to tackle fashion's huge waste problem

In this episode Dessie welcomes Mare Muijs, foundner of ESSEN (https://essenthelabel.com/). Marre takes us through the whole process of founding and managing a sustainable footwear brand. She talks about the concept of ESSEN: a well-curated range of classic shoes with an edge, that creates the basis for a perfect capsule wardrobe. Furthermore, she dives into the way ESSEN has taken a sustainable approach throughout the whole process - from the choice of raw materials for their shoes, through the production factories, and to the packaging. Last but not least, Marre walks us through the price model of a sustainable direct-to-consumer shoe brand, and the effects of the current COVID crisis on the business. 

To get all the details, make sure to tune in and hear everything from Marre herself.
