A new mother. A peak business. And the realization she could no longer be part of the industry she'd built her name in. Mara recounts the day she told her production director "we have to close", and the answer that changed everything. The beginning of an eleven-year sustainability transformation that cost her 250 stockists and rewired the brand from the inside. Essential listening for anyone wondering what it really takes to align a business with conviction, beyond marketing claims.
