サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In this episode of Watching Paint Dry, host Emma Jane Palin chats with vintage homeware store owner, Marie Pontefract. Marie set up Albie & Pearl after nearly 20 years of working as a womenswear designer. Having become dismayed at the amount of waste created within the industry, she now curates joyful collections of vintage homewares, art and lighting, whilst having as little impact on the planet as possible.
Topics covered in this 30-minute chat include leaving London (and her high-profile job) for a slower life at sea, the joys of vintage sourcing and the importance of sustainability, the return of the high street, and how she juggles her small business and her family life.
Follow Marie's journey over on Instagram, and shop her curated vintage wares over at Albie and Pearl.
