S02 Episode 58 | EILEEN FISHER, FISHER FOUND + CLOSING THE LOOP
In episode 58, Kestrel welcomes on Cynthia Powers, the Facilitating Manager of Eileen Fisher’s clothing take back program, Fisher Found, as well as Teslin Doud, who was part of Eileen Fisher’s Social Innovators Project, helping develop some of the company’s circular design components. Kestrel asks Cynthia and Teslin about Fisher Found’s origins, intention and goals. In addition, Cynthia and Teslin share more insight on the meaning behind the program’s three Rs: Reworn, Renewed, and Remade. The three also discuss the future of take back programs and what we might expect down the line. This week’s episode was sponsored by The Fourth Gentlemen, who make accessories from bamboo and cork. Why are their bamboo sunnies so amazing? Bamboo is a renewable resource and apparently one of the fastest growing plants on the planet. It’s super flexible and lightweight - often I’ve forgotten I have these shares on because they’re like a feather. They float! If you like sailing or being on the water like me, these are a great option - I’ve lost many a pair of sunglasses to the depths below over the years.
