My goal is to catch everyone up to speed on the language that can sometimes come across as sustainability jargon, as well as to help provide meaningful solutions. I am loving the opportunity to help everyone tackle the clothing waste crisis, while at the same time partnering with such a life-changing program through Homeboy Threads. Feels great all around, and we hope you jump in with us to keep the positivity going!

At KNOWN SUPPLY we’ve been searching for the right partner to help us continue our sustainability efforts through a garment’s entire lifecycle. Fortunately, we connected with new friends at LA-based Homeboy Threads to do just this & MORE. Check out our “Second Chance Bag” which is providing second chances to your clothing, as well as second chances to people who need it through the powerful programs of Homeboy Industries. I have much more to say but will leave you with this for now…
