In this week’s episode, Marco Pimentel is joined by Paul Long, founder, and designer at ANIÁN, a circular fashion company based on the west coast of Canada. Paul is passionate about the outdoors and the environment and passionate about creating change in the retail and textile industry and boosting the local economy. The collections at ANIÁN are inspired by time spent in nature, designed to withstand its elements, and made with natural fibres such as recycled Melton wool used for their very popular Modern Melton wool shirts. With 90% of textiles that end up in landfills, in 2019 alone, ANIÁN managed to take over 60,000 pounds of post-consumer textile waste. With stores now in Victoria and Vancouver, ANIÁN is a leader in circular fashion and continues to inspire us towards a greener more, sustainable future.
