The Ecosystem Incubator - Fashion in living systems

The Ecosystem Incubator - Being agile in creating your start up - Katheline Vandal, Vandal Kids

Rachel Sheila Kan Season 1 Episode 10

We take a deep dive with Katheline Vandal the creator of Vandal Kids.  A kids wear start up based around longevity and long wearing garments for children.

When creating a small business In fashion we run up against economies of scale, it is very difficult to create something that is reducing over production when the system itself is set to a large scale.  We discuss how in The Ecosystem Incubator we could as a collaborative network build with each other and work together on co-creation, hence reducing over production. 

Katheline has a background in marketing and very much sees the value in co-marketing with the members in the Ecosystem and as it grows this can become a space that is nurturing for young brand talent as well as lifting B2B operations.

She talks of her journey in building Vandal Kids and learning these things sometimes the hard way.  We also discuss the inner work needed to see the limiting beliefs that are holding us back from progressing in business and how we work with our respective coaches and business partners to move into a new space with it.

Our Founder Rachel Sheila Kan, worked with Katheline on the latter part of her brand development with her company Circular Earth.
