Don't Call It Sustainable!

Carolyn Butler is the Co-Founder and CEO of Borobabi, a maternity and young children’s clothing store that utilizes the circular economy as a business framework. The online circular retailer focuses on responsibly renting maternity and children’s clothing, instead of selling kids clothes that often sit – unworn and unloved. At Borobabi, high quality clothing cycles through multiple families, extending the life of the garments.  Borobabi states: "We care for each item and make stylish organic designs affordable for all, until they’re ultimately composted."
