Eileen Fisher grant winners

March

Today I wrote about the $10,000 grants that the Eileen Fisher, the clothing designer in Irvington, awards to five women-owned businesses each year. She looks for qualities such as innovation and environmental sustainability.

Here are two more photos.

The loyale clothing line is eco friendly and committed to fair labor practices. Jenny Hwa used her grant to open this new office in Manhattan.

And here’s a package of truffles and other chocolate from Chocolations in Mamaroneck. Note the shredded paper, no packing peanuts.
