14. Will Hunt | Building ETHOS: A Women's Activewear Brand & Community
Description
In this episode, Belle chats with Will Hunt, the founder and designer of Encinitas, CA-based women's activewear brand, ETHOS. Will moved from the UK to the US several years ago and started his business at the age of 20. His previous experience in retail, as a bike mechanic, and his individual pursuits of learning the skills necessary to run a clothing brand has helped him to successfully navigate the apparel industry and build a thriving community. Learn the meaning behind ETHOS and how Will started and evolved his brand. Plus, how he sources his materials and manufacturing, and recruits an inclusive range of models. We also cover how Will secured and built out his retail space, in addition to what he's learned along the way and the new direction ETHOS is heading! Bonus - Will even mentions his favorite spots to eat in North County, including where you can find the best breakfast burrito. : )
