Comey, whose brand is independently owned, says that she’d been aware of Uline’s politics for years, but finding a substitute — particularly for specific cardboard shipping materials — had proven difficult. A team member discovered Refuse Uline, a website that links to information on the company as well as resources and alternatives. “We wanted to share the news because we imagined many other small brands like myself are ordering from them and I wanted to share options. There’s nothing worse than feeling kind of powerless in a situation, and it’s how we felt for years not having options....The move by Comey differs in that she is offering up her resources in an open-access way to the broader fashion community. The response spoke for itself, she says. - Hilary Milnes, Vogue Business
