Welcome everyone to the Girls in Movement podcast where we talk to founders and influencers from all over the world. We welcome Dhillan Bhardwaj to the show...what an incredible podcast, lots of laughing, when is there not!
Dhillan decided to quit college to start a unique and affordable unisex clothing brand for people who wanted more than what you would find on the high street.
Dhillan started Ratchet when he was 16 years old, his weekend job was washing cars at his uncle's garage for £1 a car. From 2012 Ratchet has been worn by Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Drake, Rihanna and more.
Never going to fashion school nor studying anything to do with fashion - he taught himself everything when it came to tie dye. Because every item is handmade, they all looked the same but they were not all the same, every item was different in its own quirky way.
Every item sold on Ratchet Clothing is hand dyed, hand made and hand printed.
Ratchet Clothing has always grown organically, Dhillan says him and his customers are more like a big family - "they've supported me since day 1"
"I've always said Ratchet has gotten to where it is today because I involve my customers in everything I do. What I achieve in the brand is what we've all achieved, I wouldn't be where I am today with the support of you all."
