Would you like to hear the Hummingbird Pie origin story ?
We're on the ‘How fitting’ podcast!
Alison Hoenes is a freelance patternmaker who lives and works in the US, helping women’s slow fashion brands confidently get their designs to production. On the side, she produces the marvellous How Fitting podcast, where she interviews ‘slow fashion’ entrepreneurs who care about the products they create.
I found her podcast and thought Hummingbird Pie would be a good fit (pun very much intended) for her show. Happily, she thought so too. We talked about:
* The Hummingbird Pie origin story
* The business, from production challenges to business philosophy
* Growing up with an entrepreneurial mindset, and
* What our products really offer women.
You can listen to our conversation on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. And do have a look at Alison’s other episodes – she shares really interesting stories about other wonderful small brands. Enjoy!
