In de serie ‘Hart op de tong’ praat ik met Sophia Smeekens van Studio Escargot / @studioescargot over hoe het eigenlijk gaat bij ons in de textiel wereld. We zijn geen socioloog, bedrijfskundige, econoom of psycholoog dus ik gooi er even een disclaimer in, je luistert naar de gedachten en ideeĂ«n van twee hartstochtelijke makers, we zijn geen experts in alles waar we een mening over hebben. We hopen dat je ons geklets informatief en vermakelijk vind.
