Ep. 110 – Being Circular with The Rediscovery Centre, Arran Murphy
Arran Murphy is a fashion designer who channels her skills into empowering people to have a circular mindset with their clothes, through her work at the Rediscovery Centre. The Rediscovery Centre is an AMAZING example of how circular living is fun, beautiful, functional, and not to mention how great it is for the planet and community in every way. I implore you to visit the centre (and book a tour!) if you haven’t yet. The Instagram accounts you can follow are @rediscoverctr and @relovefashion. If you’re a young person, you can register your interest in the Relove Fashion competition here.
