If you're a product creator, e-commerce business owner, or simply someone with a sustainable vision, this episode is a goldmine of inspiration and real-world wisdom.
Vicki is joined by the brilliant Jeroo Doodhmal, the Founder of Pip & Henry. Driven by a love for the environment, Pip & Henry creates beautifully stylish, comfortable and responsibly produced shoes for children. Their playful footwear is made from sustainable materials and can be recycled when outgrown. Better yet, if recycled, customers receive a discount off their next order.
Jeroo had zero background in footwear or fashion—and yet she's created a brand that combines joyful, playful design with real environmental impact.
We cover:
- How Jeroo went from corporate banking to running a kids’ footwear brand with no prior industry experience.
- Funding tips
- The highs and lows of building a brand rooted in sustainability
- Honest lessons in marketing – Why shouting about sustainability alone didn’t work—and what really gets customers on board.
- What it’s really like to run a purpose-led product business
Whether you're just starting out or ready to take your sustainable product business to the next level, this episode will leave you feeling energised and full of practical ideas.
