”I have loved working with Ellen through the sample making and start-up process. Having someone local who can help bring my initial ideas to life has been amazing. Clothes Minded also opened my eyes to better ways of doing business in terms of sustainability. Would definitely recommend to anyone starting a business or needing a little bit of help.“
