EP136: Old Town Clothing ft Will Brown & Marie Willey

Will Brown and Marie Willey started Old Town clothing about 30 years ago. Leaving London heading to Norfolk, not knowing what will come of the move, but they did it and never looked back. They make all orders of their clothing from their own studio in Norfolk with some of the most experienced artisans that Will and Marie have invested in their time, making sure these makers/ artisans are on the same or above level as their brand. Old Town clothing is a successful unisex brand with sophisticated, stylish, in its charm and very calm way with Old Town. Once you see the designs of this brand, you really can't forget it. Join Marie, Will, and myself in a conversation about the up and downs in holding a brand in the most challenging times of this trade with shortage of skilled makers that once there gone it's impossible to replace as a nation we don't seem to have the formula to replace skilled makers. One of the most important conversations of my podcast as this situation relates to us all in this trade is what holds the future for this trade.
