It's Worth It with Sadie Roberts of Tradlands
About this episode
Sadie Roberts and her partner started their label, Tradlands, without a lot of money or experience. They produce menswear-inspired shirting for women, and they believe strongly in what they make and how they serve their customers. But starting a US-made fashion label isn't easy.
In this episode, Sadie shares how she got through some harrowing moments, why she didn't quit, and what she'd recommend to other aspiring designers.
"I'm really comfortable saying, we had no idea what we were doing." – Sadie Roberts
