EILEEN FISHER creates simple, sustainable, timeless clothes designed to work together as a system. We design clothes with intention, supporting people to build their wardrobe meaningfully each season. We make our clothes to last—and then we collect them through our Renew take-back program to be resold, donated or remade into entirely new designs. We believe in the fundamental potential of every person—our employees, our customers and those who make our clothes—and are committed to cultivating conditions that empower people. It’s all part of our commitment to doing business in a way that helps build a better industry. And a better future. EILEEN FISHER is one of the largest women’s fashion companies to be a certified B Corporation, which means we voluntarily meet high criteria for social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.
