Episode 7: TEN THOUSAND STRAW FEDORAS! (tales of excess inventory)

<p>Every year <strong>15 billion garments</strong> head to the landfill<strong> pre-consumer.</strong> These are garments that either never made it to the store or were marked down aggressively and still did not sell.  H+M made headlines by burning <strong>$4.3 billion </strong>worth of unsold clothing.  How does this happen?  Clotheshorse all-star guest Janine is back to unpack this with us.   It’s an exciting story, filled with hubris, despair, and straw hats that are really made of paper, with a bad zipper thrown in as a twist.  Also:  another look at the #payup movement and how you can help!</p><p>Email us with questions/corrections/episode suggestions at clotheshorsepodcast@gmail.com<br>Or find us on instagram @clotheshorsepodcast</p>
