the team
ethically me comprises of the following
Meagan Tudge
Meagan is the the founder of ethically me ltd.
When we met six months ago, we felt that current market offerings
of ethical clothing provided unappealing and often 'hippyish'
options for women. We wanted to make clothes that were fun
to wear but produced in an ethical manner.
Primary roles:
Meagan Tudge
