Here's the best advice we discovered for starting a sustainable clothing line:

#1: Slater McLean, founder of Oliver Charles:

We chatted with with Slater, founder of Oliver Charles ($100K/month). In our interview, Slater says:

Additionally:

#3: Pepe Martín García, founder of Minimalism Brand:

We chatted with with Pepe, founder of Minimalism Brand ($18K/month). In our interview, Pepe says:

Additionally:

Logistics is a very important thing if you are thinking about starting an eCommerce. I think is better to outsource that service. It's not expensive at all and you can focus on what is really important: selling.
