Stories of Fashion, Textiles, and Place follows the journeys of five
companies with evolving sustainable supply chains in the fashion and
textile industry. Each of the profiled companies are committed to
advancing cultural traditions of a particular place. They value, honor,
and are all deeply rooted in the geography, culture, and people of a
specific location and their success is attributable to their connection
to that place. With this shared value, their unique stories highlight
the conditions, risks, strategies, and successes in creating and
maintaining sustainable supply chains for ready-to-wear and home
fashions. The companies include:
-Imperial Stock Ranch and Shaniko Wool Company - Oregon, USA
-Angela Damman Yucatán - Yucatán, Mexico
-Tonlé - Phnom Penh, Cambodia
-Indigenous Designs - Highlands, Peru

With a focus on economic, social, environmental, and cultural
sustainability, and the connection between textiles and place, Burns and
Carver offer personal and insightful narratives of companies addressing
the challenges facing today's global fashion industry.
