James Bartle — Denim to End Poverty

James Bartle is the Founder & CEO of Outland Denim, an incredible company shaking up the fashion industry. It feels like we’re on the front of the tidal wave of change across the fashion industry right now, as more and more information is coming to light about what a harmful industry it is. In this episode, I catch up with James in the studio to talk about his own personal journey that led him to start Outland Denim and the evolution of the company and their aim for ‘Zero Exploitation’ throughout the whole chain - right from the cotton farm to the courier who delivers your jeans.

A few years back, I remember talking with James about the journey that he had been on personally as he was transitioning Outland Denim from a more purely “non-profit/charity” model to the “for-profit/Social Enterprise that it is today. 

James continues to inspire me with his quest for innovation and relentless change within the fashion industry. If you are out there with an idea or dream to see change in the world, I know that this conversation with my good mate James will give you some rocket fuel for your pursuits.
