Client Testimonials
Re:Source and Tara St James have played an integral role in helping us shape Soludos sustainability goals and providing key resources so that we could successfully shift more than 50% of our product to be manufactured using sustainable materials in just 3 years. Tara was integral when we launched Yebo, a vegan sneaker made from plants, guiding us towards the most earth friendly vegan material options including outsole components. Her expertise and knowledge helped us navigate the challenging landscape of sustainability thoughtfully selecting materials that have the least impact on the environment. - Karen Ruenitz, Creative Director, Soludos
“There’s no other way to put this - Tara has been a godsend to my brand. Tara’s expertise and support have allowed us to develop a thoughtful and strong sustainably mindful apparel foundation. Specifically, our patterns, production processes, and finished products are better because of Tara. In addition, Tara’s deep network of industry experts helped rescue us from a poor production relationship, and set us up with an amazing cut &sew partner we have to this day. Lastly, Tara’s real-time experience as a fellow brand builder with Study NY enables her to provide sense of empathy, patience and genuine care for the best outcome. Any brand would be incredibly lucky to work with Tara. Simply the best!” - Kyle Bergman, founder Swoveralls
“We started manufacturing apparel in 2015 with a lot of ideas about how to build our brand, but absolutely zero knowledge of how to make a garment or navigate the fashion industry. Luckily we found Tara! She breathed life into the production of our garments, and helped guide us to approach each decision from a place of sustainability. She is sharp, knowledgeable and on the rare occasion she doesn't know the answer, she knows the person who does! To this day, Tara remains a sounding board for our brand and we feel so lucky to have her as a mentor.” - Kelly Moffat, co-founder Kirrin Finch
“Working with Re:Source consulting put me on a path to steady progress. Tara St James guides me in finding the right resources and shares from her wealth of resources and experience. She gives me the reassurance to trust my instincts and the confidence to reach the best possible result, gather the learnings and improve with each step - even when it gets more complex. Tara connects like-minded individuals and brands that attempt to develop a more conscious system for the fashion industry and choose to not take the conventional road but possibly create a better one. I’m thoroughly enjoying the process.” - Yvonne Georgi, Founder Tomorrow In A Year
"Tara St James consulting provides a wealth of invaluable resources for designers and industry professionals who are committed to sustainability. Tara is an expert in the field of sustainability and is a pleasure to work with." - Tamara Davydova, Founder and Chief Creative Officer MINIMALIST
