A Good Seed: Eileen Fisher Fifth Avenue

April 22, 2014

Eileen Fisher is trying something new. The company’s Fifth Avenue boutique is meant to function not only as a store, but as an exploratory space for the forward-thinking brand. By encouraging creativity in a place where customers can immediately respond to it, Eileen Fisher hopes to inspire greater ingenuity throughout the business as a whole. 

As for the store, expect unique takes on decor and merchandising, plus wares from other designers (including jewelry, hats, and bags). Visit regularly for the full effect.

For the Fifth Avenue store, the Eileen Fisher team created an ampersand out of cardboard recycled from the company’s New Jersey distribution center.
