In this episode of the 'Hippie Haven Podcast', host Callee chats with Rain Wickham, the innovative mind behind Lost Property, a clothing library in Fremantle, Australia.

This conversation isn't just for fashion enthusiasts; it's for anyone interested in sustainable living and reducing their environmental footprint. Rain's story is both inspiring and actionable, showing that with a bit of creativity and determination, we can all contribute to a more sustainable future.
