Episode 72: Kate Sokolov and Lisa Sokolov, Co-Founders of Social Goods, the Online Store that Turns Political Fashion into Political Action

New York Launch Pod: A Podcast Highlighting New Start-Ups, Businesses, and Openings in the New York City Area (NY Launch Pod)

Kate Sokolov and Lisa Sokolov, sisters and Co-Founders of Social Goods, step onto the New York Launch Pod to discuss their online retail store that offers statement making gifts which incorporate donations to the causes they represent.

Before starting Social Goods, Lisa worked in fashion while Kate was active in non-profits and political causes, together the sisters and Co-Founders set out to create a brand that combined their expertise into a socially-conscious way to shop. By handpicking designers and non-profits to collaborate with, Social Goods turns political fashion into political action by donating a portion or at times 100% of revenue to organizations working on the ground.

In this episode we talk about how consumerism can be channeled into support for grassroots organizations, how Social Goods chooses sleek designs for their products, and much more!
