This week on Black Enterprise's, 'The Urban Business Roundtable,' UBR Contributor Dywaine Betts Jr. talks with Tyson Toussant, co-founder of Return Textiles LLC, a developer, manufacturer, licensor and distributor of conventional and high performance, ecologically sustainable yarns and fabrics.
A native of New York City, Toussant grew up with a love for camping and the outdoors. He and childhood friend Tim Coombs started creating outdoor clothing and equipment. Their simple sketches eventually evolved into Return Textiles, which how produces fabrics for major brands such as North Face and Cole Haan. Toussant joins the Roundtable to share how he turned sketches of backpacks into a million dollar enterprise with supply chains all around the world.
