Entrepreneur turns textile waste into fashionable footwear
Social entrepreneur Pamela Mejia has found a way of giving old items a rebirth.
Mejia set up a program that gives life to old clothes and fabric scraps by transforming them into higher valued products such as footwear.
She named her footwear line "Phinix," inspired by the legends of mythical bird phoenix.
Mejia visited Mornings @ ANC to talk more about her social enterprise. She also brought samples of her sustainable and equally fashionable footwear pieces.
