Episode 13 | Azerbaijan based, US born Teresa Hamlin calls herself an “accidental entrepreneur”

Update: 2021-06-28

Description

This week Mark is in conversation with Teresa Hamlin whose company, Azerbaijani Socks (www.azerbaijanisocks.com) has re-invigorated a traditional Caucasian craft. Far lesser known than carpet weaving, the knitting of slipper-socks in mountainous regions has long been part of village life with distinctive designs that vary regionally. The company now ships worldwide allowing previously low-income rural families to improve their lifestyles and – in some cases – fund access to higher education for their children. To browse or buy the socks visit www.etsy.com/shop/azerbaijanisocks
