John Snare & Rachel Kelly, Co-founders, Thought

John Snare and Rachel Kelly are the Co-founders of Thought, one of the UK’s earliest sustainable and ethical fashion brands.

Thought's focus is on creating a "circular economy", and over the years it has invested extensively in expanding the range of materials used.

The business boasts an impressive range of textiles compared to similar retailers, such as hemp, bamboo, and Seacell - a material made from harvested seaweed.

In this episode of the In Conversation podcast, John and Rachel speak to Tom Shearsmith, News Editor at TheIndustry.fashion, about how the business has progressed since they first created clothing in 1995, why the business has constantly needed to evolve and educate, the recent onboarding of retailers, and where the business is heading in the future.
