Today I am joined by Veronica Pesantes. Vero is the Co-founder of The Onikas, a lifestyle brand that lives at the intersection of design, sustainability, and wellness. The Onikas is on a mission to preserve and promote artisan-made textiles. Dedicated to slow fashion, their products are made with great care and respect. The artisan textiles preserve the arts of weaving and block printing, two traditions which are in peril of disappearing. Every Onikas purchase is an investment in the people who make the products, and in their traditions, their families, and their communities.
Tune in to learn how Veronica is utilizing crowdfunding to take her business to the next level!
