The machine enables Renew staff to use every bit of fabric, down to scraps, to make something that would otherwise likely be created from virgin textile stock. Eliminating any and all waste textiles from the loop, pre- and postconsumer—that’s what will make Eileen Fisher truly circular, and what fashion at large needs to achieve to stop producing so much waste, and to stop wasting energy. Of course, the process is in its earliest stages. The Tiny Factory has just one large felting machine, which was custom-made in China in collaboration with an engineer.
As the machine was being noisily demonstrated, Eileen appeared. Very small, wearing the coziest black cashmere sweater I have ever seen, cotton pants, and felted shoes (non-Eileen), and her skin makeup-free and luminous, she shook my hand with hers. “Cool,” she said, when she saw the machine doing its thing.
