In this episode of Rooted by Arpitharai, I speak with Laure, who has lived a nearly zero-waste lifestyle for the past 8 years.

We explore her approach to sustainable clothing, menstrual hygiene, secondhand fashion, and living with intention.

This conversation is not about being perfect—it’s about everyday practices that create long-term impact. If you're interested in circular fashion, upcycling, capsule wardrobes, and mindful consumption, this one’s for you.

Watch the full episode to learn:

* How zero-waste living is possible in fashion

* Simple shifts to start your journey

* Why conscious choices matter now more than ever
