I spend a lot of time shopping, so it always amazes me when I learn something totally new and unexpected about a brand. Take EILEEN FISHER, for example. I’ve long known about the brand’s commitment to sustainability; they’re at the forefront of making sustainable fabrics and materials more mainstream. What I didn’t know is that their commitment didn’t end there. Ready to have you mind blown? EILEEN FISHER runs a “take back program” that gives people a $5 store credit for each item returned… and it doesn’t matter how old the item is or when you purchased it. Since 2009, the brand has taken back over 1 million pieces. Crazy, right?!
The goal of this incredible program is to give old pieces new life. Not only does EILEEN FISHER resell items that are still in perfect condition as part of the EILEEN FISHER Renew collection, but they also give items a third life by transforming damaged pieces into one-of-a-kind artworks, pillows and wall hangings.
Interested in shopping EILEEN FISHER Renew pieces? There are two stores–one in Irvington, NY and one Seattle,WA–and you can also find Renew styles available at many EILEEN FISHER stores. Click here to find one near you.
