Eileen Fisher 

Eileen Fisher is a women's clothing company started in 1984 by Eileen Fisher (the woman seems amazing!). At the time, she was an interior and graphic designer, who only had $350 in her bank account and couldn't sew. She wanted to make clothing with simple shapes and took four basics items to a Boutique show in New York. Encouraged by $3000 in sales, she expanded her line to 8 items. Her second show brought in $40,000 in orders and suddenly she was Eileen Fisher Inc. 
  Today, Eileen Fisher employs 1100 people in more than 60 stores. The company is very innovative with its employee relations; offering open air work areas that encourage connections. Eileen Fisher focuses on design. They listen to what women want and keep clothing simple. Eileen Fisher is known for clothing you don't have to think too much about. You put them on and know they will give you the comfort, ease and elegance to move with confidence through your day. 
  Eileen Fisher is committed to organic and sustainable fibers, manufacturing clothing in the United States and recycling clothing with Green Eileen. The company is very socially conscious. Eileen Fisher, the woman, wants to positively change the world through business. 

  The opposite of Edwin Jeans, there are A Lot of Eileen Fisher items listed and sold on eBay everyday. Currently, there are 14,497 pre-owned Eileen Fisher items listed on eBay and 21,599 have been sold recently. The best items to sell are coats/jackets and anything made of leather. The worst items to sell are plain shirts. Here are a few recent sales of pre-owned Eileen Fisher items: 












     This one surprised me! $112.50 for used bedding!!!! 
















I've only sold one Eileen Fisher item. I generally only sell women's jeans and jackets. Honestly, don't have the patience to look through all the other women's sections at thrift stores. So, my number is lower than yours might be. 




The jeans had a problem with the threading in the back of the waist or I could've sold these for much more. 

I'd say if you find Eileen Fisher items buy them. The only way I'd pay shirts though, is if I found a group for really cheap and could sell them as a lot. Definitely buy anything jackets or anything made of leather!
