About your hosts
Lydia McNeill and Natalie Hartley have both spent over 20 years working in fashion. Together they opened their first vintage clothing shop on Portobello Road in London. As their work focused more on sustainability, they began teaching their own children about the value of clothing and upcycling, and the Chillie Kids Club was born. Teaching kids about sustainable fashion whilst sharing fun and creative ways to recycle their old clothes.
