The companies include:-Imperial Stock Ranch and Shaniko Wool Company - Oregon, USA-Angela Damman Yucatán - Yucatán, Mexico-Tonlé - Phnom Penh, Cambodia-Indigenous Designs - Highlands, Peru-Harris Tweed® - Outer Hebrides, Scotland, UKWith a focus on economic, social, environmental, and cultural sustainability, and the connection between textiles and place, Burns and Carver offer personal and insightful narratives of companies addressing the challenges facing today's global fashion industry.
